I'm probably going to go with the RF-7's based on price. Have many people used Emotiva? Looks like a great product/great price/good reviews.

Okay....I am starting to think quality vs. brand name components. Here is what I am considering for the foundation of my Home Theater: Outlaw Audio Pre/Pro 990 Outlaw Audio 7125 Amp RF-7 or RF-83 complete package (need your opinions on this???) Why is there such a price diffence between the RF-7 & RF-83 systems? I know the RF-7 system is dicontinued....but there's nearly a $3-4K difference in price. I appreciate your thoughts/comments.

Okay...lets say that I go for it and get the biggest/best to start off with. Do I go with the RF-7 or RF-83 system? Is there such a thing as getting too big of a speaker setup for the room? I don't want to buy a giant speaker system only to use a fraction of the capablility and don't want to sacrifice sound if they require a certain level of power to sound good. I like my music loud, but don't want to blast company out of the room. What sub? I have heard that the RF-7 blows the RF-83 system away...but wanted the expert opinion from the forum. Has anyone used the CDT-5800-C ceiling speakers. I'm am only going to be using them for multi-room audio in the Kitchen & Master Bedroom, not for Home Theater purposes.

Do you or anybody else have any pics of the rears mounted?

I am looking to stay under $2K for the speakers. My wife says she is open to either in-wall/ceiling or wall mounted/free standing speakers. I currently have a polk system that will go into the kids media room, so I am finally ready to get a serious system for the family Living Room. I would be willing to spend in the $1,500 range for the receiver, I don't know if that is realistic or not.

I am currently in the process of building a new home and have some questions. 5.1 or 7.1, which is the standard/preferred system? In the wall vs. standard for the rear speakers? Recommended speaker system? The room is 18X20 with 12 ft Ceilings. I want a quality system withing a reasonable budget (not asking for much). Which brand of receiver would you recommend? Sorry for all of the questions, but I have been out of the loop and am starting from scratch.
