that's the lesson I've learned from two channel set up I forgot.Or match the equipement used to the room *if* no dedicated room is
available. Not the other way around. ( easier to deal with in a long run )Interesting you say how many people you want to accomodate as well as
monitor used change things.

Well, my small system is in my bedroom...how many do you think I should *reasonably* accomodate in there, at once? Probably more than I can get...I just meant that when I went for the larger screen in the main room, the required longer viewing distance allowed for more viewers, and a different sound arrangement. The big screens IMO don't look so good from close up, I mean you have the same quality video source on a similar quality (to the big) small screen and it looks better, so you have to sit farther away for things to be good with the big screen. When you sit farther away, the sound has to fill a larger area, etc. etc.
I originally had a small separate viewing room, and I decided to make it more "public". That was a conscious decision, and basically the HT gear I already had didn't survive the transition to the larger room. I didn't realise that would be the case when I started, even though it should have been obvious...so yes, the gear has to be chosen specifically for the room.
