Please help plan my HT!

Posted by jbmcb (A) on November 15, 2004 at 09:04:13

My wife just gave the go-ahead for a home theater in the living room. I even talked her into getting a nice CRT projector, as long as I build a box to hide it in. Here's what I'm planning:

Barco Graphics 808 or 808s projector
Draper or Elite motorized 96" screen
Some kind of receiver, probably Denon or Harman/Kardon
Magnepan MGMC1's in front, MMGC center, MMG surrounds (5.1 config)
Homebrew stereo subwoofers (Titanics or Infinity Perfect 12s)

What I have:
Denon DVD-1600 and HTPC sources
160W stereo amplifier for subs

Living room: about 22' x 15', screen will be along the long wall in front of a large window.

The idea is: currently the couch is in front of the nice big window, and we stare at a wall consisting of a 32" TV and my big Magneplanar 1.4's. With a wall of equipment gone and the speakers off the floor, we'll have a lot more space, and a nice view out our front window. The Harman stuff is on the list mostly because I can get a deal on it from a guy at work. He's got a really high end Harman/Infinity setup at home and it sounds *nice*

Any comments/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
