Reply With QuoteIn wall or in ceiling speakers?
I just moved into my new house and I have a modest budget to put together a home audio/video system.(My budget is around $4000-4500 :cry: )
First and foremost I will be buying a Panasonic 50" Plasma (TH 50PX60U) I can get a smoking deal through my mom for around $2800.00 with the wall mount.
So lets say I have another $1500-2000 to spend on a surround sound receiver,DVD player,cables and speakers.
I want to do 3 in wall speakers for the front stage and 2 for the surround.I also would like atleast a 10" sub so you can feel the movie.
I will do the install myself with the help of knowlegable friends.
So what would you suggest for product?I want loud and clean but I don't need anywhere near top of the line.(Think bang for the buck)

With such a nice display, I would make sure you get the right DVD player for it. Look HERE (http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/cgi-bin/shootout.cgi?function=search&articles=all&type=&ma nufacturer=0&maxprice=0&deInt=0&mpeg=0#Oppo%20Digi talOPDV971H%20(DVI)) to see how the DVD players compare. One of the best DVD player for your display is only $199.00.
On the speakers, Klipsch makes some decent in-wall speakers as well at ceiling ones.
Receivers, since you are going to go with in-wall speakers, I would go for one of the new receivers that not only calibrates the speakers for you but also EQ's them to match the sound of every speaker. Like the Pioneer VSX-816-K/S (http://www.pioneerelectronics.ca/pna...228026,00.html)
Subs, a lot of companies make some good 10" subs now a days, but if you are into movie watching, I would go with a 12" to get the lower extension.
Cables, only go with Monster cables if you want the bling factor, a lot of inexpensive cables have proven to be just as good for half the price of Monster Cables.
Good luck and I hope you don't mind me putting in my two cents.
You should be able to build a nice system for that price. Here is a tip on cables: I just bought about $300 in cables and such from this guy on e-bay. The prices are killer and service is fast. Pay with pay-pal and you should have your stuff within 5-7 days max. Check out his e-bay store--some great pricing.

Your help is greatly appreciated!(You and Roz have forgotten more about home audio/video than I will ever know)
What DVD player are you talking about that cost under $200.00?
I would like to put together something that sounds good and helps me hold on to my extra money so I can fix up the back yard next year.

Thanks for the link.
When I figure out what I actually need I will hook up with them.

Or

The Panny is $50.00 more, but will be easier to find and well worth the price.
