I need help. I am about to convert a room to a home cinema. It will also be used as a living room (most of the time).
The room is 6.5 metres by 5 metres. I have a budget of about £5,000 for a projector, AV receiver, and speakers.
I want 5.1 surround speakers that will "fill the room".
I will be using the system for Sky HD, PS3, X-box, and a Wii. About 5-10% of the use is gaming. The rest of the time, it will be used for movies and TV. Infrequently, I will use it for music only.
I plan to spend about £1,000 on the AV receiver and £2,000 on the speaker system. Is this a reasonable split?
There is so much conflicting advice out there. Can you help me narrow my choice? I would value advice about a good make in my price range. In my price range, will I need special speaker cables?
Thanks in advance.
