UPDATE II
Hello Everyone, after surfing this forum and others for weeks, I realized the folks on here are much much more dedicated and knowledgeable! I am beginning to understand that home theater isn't just another room but turns out to be a way of life! However without further delay let me tell you a little back story for my home theater and ultimately the actual plan, equipment, and questions.
I promise to start posting pictures on the progress, the project is due to start next week.
STORY - I have ALWAYS wanted to have my own home theater (and I guess most of us did or you wouldn't be on this site), last year we finally moved into a fairly large house with 7 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms and one unfinished room! The problem was one of the bathrooms was inside this unfinished space, so I moved it and made one of the rooms in the basement a suite! Now I have a 12x18 feet room.
PLAN - I have a clean slate and am thinking about putting a two tiered floor with 7 seats in total. I will post my proposed floor plan but the key to this project is $$$. I have read so many success stories here and am excited for all the feedback.
EQUIPMENT -
Speaker - 4 Floor Standing Saphire Speakers with built in sub plus a center speaker and Difinitive mids
Sub-woofer - Trying to decide between two or one but they are Difinitive 12"
Display - Sharp 80" TV
Receiver - Pioneer Elite SC-37
Seats - TBD
Sconces - Style Selections 2-Light Brushed Nickel Item #: 359233 | Model #: HDO0482L-3
Sound Proofing - Contractor has recommended to insulate the walls for a cheap solution.
QUESTIONS -
1. I want a very compact and stylish light control unit and I am way over my head, please help! I want to basically turn the lights on as I enter the room and dim/turn-off via remote control. Should I just hire pros for this?
2. Remote control, what do you guys recommend? I don't want to spend a fortune on this but I am thinking of the Harmony 1100, this question is also tied to the above question.
3. I am building some columns to put the speakers in, (floor plan to follow) and think I may cover the face of those columns with speaker grill fabric, any other solutions I am overlooking?
Thanks for all your help in advance.
