You are in need of professional help, and that begins with a room evaluation, and best to do that before you spend a dime. The room, and its treatment, is everything, for it that which you will 'hear'. So find a person, professional acoustician, who can help with that first. Otherwise, you will fall to dealer, much like a used car salesperson, selling you whats on the 'lot'. While you are waiting, check out Toole's book on Sound Reproduction, a classic/bible on better listening. Hopefully an Amazon Drone can put it on your door step in the next half hour.
Help designing a home theater/listening room
I am in the process of designing a home theater with an emphasis on a listening room. The media room space is 15 feet wide by 20 feet deep and the walls will be soundproofed. I am willing to spend around 30-40k for all the equipment and install. Wanted to get peoples thoughts on what would be a great system. So far I was thinking.
Power. Considering krell amp and preamp vs marantz amp/preamp vs Cambridge audio integrated amp
speakers. I liked the Elac black edition floor standing speakers or b&w and will get the matching center and surround speakers. For a 7.1 system.
Subwoofer - undecided on this but considering a genesis subwoofer.
Video. Probably 110 inch screen and jc projector for about 7500 total
Blue ray/Sacd player - oppo
any advice appreciated.
