Viking 0 #2 May 22, 2005 You might try visiting a couple Audiophile message boards they would be able to help you out alot more than most people here. But i do believe there are a few sound nuts here. my only advice is stay the hell away from anything Onkyo. Congrats on the house and good luck getting that spine tingling, window shaking system you want.

grue 1 #3 May 22, 2005 Bose stuff is really not all that great, especially with the huge huge huge markups. If you want what's really the best, look at AV gear from Rand, Faroudja, Martin Logan, Mark Levinson, etc.cavete terrae. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmsmith 1 #4 May 22, 2005 You might consider running audio-video conduit since you are dealing with one room, and you know that cable quality continues to improve. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, it won't matter which brand you go with at this point. All you need to decide right now is where you're going to want your speakers and then install the wire. Two points with that in mind...a) don't skimp on the wire. b) In the "home theater room", you might want to run wires to each speaker from two different locations, in case you decide to rearrange the room. I did this when we built our last house, because the vaulted ceilings prohibited running speaker wire after the fact. Are you going to run wire to any other locations while you're at it? Bedrooms, patio, etc? Most of the newer high-end receivers will support multiple "zones" so you can listen to the game or whatever on TV in the family room and music out on the patio at the same time.
