Want to buy new HT setup, any help appreciated


Hi,

I would like to set up an HT and ready to spend upto $1000, I am looking at HTIB as well as expolring another possibilities.

Here is my current Music system

Jolida JD 100
Odyssey Tempest Pre
Odyssey Startos with Cap Upgrade
Paradigm ref studio 100 V2

I will not prefer to use these components for HT as in near future, I will be looking at upgrading speakers.

I am not sure whether any HTIB will be good enough for the
room of size 22 X 20 X 10.

If I want to go with Different receiver/ different Speakers and Diff sub, what are the option available ?

Thanks a lot,

If I had that kind of money to spend this is what I'd do.

I'd start with a Theta Casa-Blanca-III loaded with three extreme dacs plus a few other cards (pre-amp)

Then I'd add a Theta Carmen-II Progressive scan DVD player (digital transport)

Next comes the amps, let's see, hmmmm oh yes Seven, no Eight Theta Citidel mono-blocks(one for each speaker) that should be enough!

Then it's time to give Aerial Acoustics a call. I'd start with a pair of 20t's (fronts), a CC-5 (center) five SR'3's (3-rears + 2-sides)

For sub's you probably want to stay with Aerial. let's make it four SW-12's just to be safe. I mean you wouldn't want to miss out on those Low Frequencey Effects would you?

Cabling's a no brainer for this system. Let's go with custom lengths of Nordost Valhalla to everything.

Last but not least I'd say a Runco 63" plasma display will fit nicely on the wall. This being the holidays I'd allow three weeks for delivery and set up.

OK, this is looking good, so while your waiting on the system to be delivered let's get started hiring a good electrician to wire in a dedicated 100 amp sub-panel with sixteen dedicated 20 amp circuits that's one for each current carrying piece of equipment. (I.G. of course)

Now let's do two rows of theatre seating using the new La-Z-boy leather H/T recliners and WA-LA it's done!

Man, I can here your new system screaming from here! Or is that the neighbors?

Steven Spielberg and George Lucas eat your hearts out!

WAIT A MINUTE!!! you did say you had 100,000.00 to spend RIGHT?

Auh never mind...
