I just finished one last year and ran four dedicated circuits to the audio area, 1 at 30 amps for the amplifier and the rest at 20 amps, should be enough. I used P&S outlets. Consider a whole house surge protector. Also, I would recommend lots of fiberglass in the walls. Maybe investigate the feasibility of in-wall bass traps (I don't know if that would even work due to reflection off drywall). If the room will or could in the future be used for HT, you may want to run wire from a binding post jack in the wall to the ceiling for surround speakers. Finally, the thing I forgot to do is to run a subwoofer cable to the rear of the room for HT bass, fortunately I was able to pull it between the floor joists above the basement drywall ceiling. Have fun.
New home - shoulda woulda coulda's
Working on my new home design. Would be interested in hearing of some new construction strategies that would service my audio needs. I'm interested in what infrastructure-related products that you folks might consider indespensible. I'm primarily interested in exceptional 2 channel audio support in my main living area. Eventually I will have a dedicated home theater/audio room in the basement and would require support for that room. Again, just interested in critical backbone products and not a home "media system" that will be outdated in a couple of years. However, if anyone knows of some exceptional "in-wall" products that might service some peripheral listening in other rooms, I'd be interested in those as well. I'm not afraid to spend the money as I cannot go a day without music. Oh yeah, no WAF issues so let loose with your bad selves! No need to rehash old threads I may have missed, so please offer up some links. Thanks.
