WOW...........I thought I was the only one who doesn't sleep!!..........Guess I was wrong. LOL
Haven't hammered out the budget thing with them yet. As previously mentioned, they have NO idea what good sound or gear is like. They think 4 inch Bose satellites are high end.........Not knocking Bose, per se, they sell a ton of speakers, but not usually to audio people.
I'm thinking start basic, decent HT receiver with solid full or near full range L-R speakers and matching center. They can build on that later, more speakers, subs, what have you. Keeps the initial system simpler and allows the up front costs to be more about quality, than how many channels can they cram into one room.
I've watched a lot of movies over the years with my 2 channel rig and never missed not having the other 35 speakers at the time, but I do understand that movie sound tracks are meant to be heard multi-channel for the best effect.
