Hi all. New guy here. I've been trolling for a while and finally register for the forum. I wanted to educate myself before I started asking stupid questions.
I've been a Klipsch fan since I was a kid in the late 70's and my uncle bought a set of Cornwall's, I believe. I'm still trying to sell them to me to this day! Anyway, My wife and built a new house last year and now i'm finishing the basement, so I have a clean slate for the home theater. I've been saving for years to build my dream system, or at least one i'll be very happy with. Over the years i've had a few home theater set ups with crappy equipment and comprimised speaker placement. This time i'm ready to do it right. I'll layout my plans and the equipment I plan to buy, and i'd like you all to tell me what you think, and provide constuctive criticism.
I have a room about 20' wide and 18' deep with 8' ceiling. At the front where the viewing area will be I have a pocket in the wall that is 12' wide and 3 1/2' deep I want to build a wall unit to make everything flush to the front wall. I will make pockets in the unit for the front speakers and sub, so they won't protrude past the front of the cabinet. I will determine the size of the speaker pockets with some help from here (hopefully). Behind my rear wall is a storage area, so I would like to flush mount my rear in the wall. Also I have installed a pvc tube in the floor joists, that runs between the storage area at the back, and the pocket in the front wall. This will aid in running of future wiring for the theater, and the whole house. The following is some of the equipment I plan to buy:
Front: (2) RF-7's
Center: (1) RC-7
Sub: (1) RSW-12
Surround
ceiling: (2) R-5800-W's
Surround
rear: (2) RB-75's
TV: I'm torn between 62" Mitsubishi DLP and 73" Mitsubishi CRT
Reciever: not sure yet, i'm leaning toward Yamaha 7.1 of some sort.
DVD: don't know yet, open to suggestions. Maybe a changer?
I'm open to any suggestions, recommendations, and constructive criticism. Please let me know what you think.
Thanx for your time, Jeremy
