advice needed on new build project

Hi





I have just joined as i am looking for advice, all opinions apreciated.


I am currently in the process of a self build house project, In which i plan to have two plasma tv's


1. In a downstairs open plan kitchen/dining /family type room in that order. i have had speaker cable wired in to the relavent corners for 5.1 set up. ( wife would not ware the addition of the two middle for 7.1) also four cat 6 cables and an HDMI, this room is large and is getting a tv in the 60" range. I am looking at the Q acoustic 1010i spaekers. I need an upscaling amp which along with all other components wi live in a cupboard upstairs i plan to use a multi remote and IR pick ups and transmitters to make it al work. so amp need to have several inputs for blue ray / skyHD/ bt vision and possibly music films streamed from a PC.


2.Upstairs lounge will have one plasma Around 40" and no surround. I plan a decent separate stereo set up for this room later as funds allow, there is also Cat 6 to the tv and future stereo loction


I do not mind spending more than s proportianal to the speakers on an amp as they may get upgraded in the future. But as you can imagine i have a lot to do at once not to mention the Joy of a bare shell house to carpet and furnish so the budget is notlimitless


Questions


1. can i get one amp that would be capable of running the two tvs and handeling different output input at the same time.ie. sky to one while playing a dvd on the other or do i need to buy one amp and one other box to upscale for the smaler tv 2.


2.any particualr TV you would recomend for #2 as it wil need to have a good sound output on its own. and possibly good upscaling


I did initialy look at building a high spec media PC to handle all these tasks. but i work away for extended periods and if it went down while i was away it would ean them indoors entertainment frre until i got back and a bent ear for me

Re: advice needed on new build project

Hi welcome to the forums, with regards to the 2 questions you are best asking them in the specific parts of the froums. The receiver or amp question in the receivers section and the TV question in the relevant TV section e.g. Plasma or LCD
