John,
nobody has asked the question... What are you looking to spend on speakers?

I am an IT guy, and I only let Procurement do negotiating for Company buys after I have folks make sure it meets our our needs....you could have probably sold me anything...I get to play good cop and make sure it meets our functional requirements, and then I let the procurement guys beat them up on price...

For a NICE home installation, call Brent Wiseman at DSI Entertainment Systems 818-906-9940. I love their installations, very clean and nice, all the good stuff.

I think the JM Labs Cobalt 816 is one of the best values in the audio industry.
I wouldn't spend a ton of money on speaker cable. It's nice to have decent cable with nice flexible silicone jacket but as the cable size gets larger, the capacitance tends to increase. There is not a direct relationship between wire gauge and sound quality. Just keep the wire neat and short (don't coil up a bunch of extra). Don't waste your money on fancy cable unless you plan to impress chicks with your wire.

John,
nobody has asked the question... What are you looking to spend on speakers? I was hoping to get buy with about 2K. I already dropped 900 on the amp for the Denon-1082 with 7 channels. Part of the project will be to run a secondary set of speakers t my patio area, but that I will be doing later.

Hi Roz,
Thanks for the response. I will give you a call tommorow or maybe Friday. I guess you would consider this project a remodel. What I am trying to accomplish is to have a decent sounding home Theater /that can also play some tunes with limited floor space( I had to give up some large Infinity Kappa towers because i just do not have the Floor space in my new place, and the Theater area is in a Living room. I do have vaulted 20 ft ceilings that do provide some chalanges as far as the sounds. eek!

Hey Roz...this is Waterboy's wife, and we are also looking into a home entertainment system.
We went to tweeters in Chino on Sunday and we really liked the 50" samsung Dpl (i think thats what it was called. But we haven't decided on a stereo system yet. It's going in the family room
but i want speakers throughout the house and back patio. What would be a good receiver and speakers
that could provide the sound I'm looking for(LOUD)
My husband or I will call you this week also to get some info. We are ready now to make a purchase. We also want a DVD/CD changer/player.
Oh...We are looking to spend around 6k.
Thanks and you'll hear from us soon.
I'm Niki and my husband is Shannon.
Thanks
