We have a new house build completing later this year and I'm having fun dreaming of how to setup a good TV/Movie room, without turning it into solely a cinema room. I want to get the wires in whilst we can, including networking for most rooms.
I'm thinking of going for a 7.1.4 setup, with in ceiling speakers. I've got a pair of floor standing speakers (Klipsch R-620F) and a centre to match, along with a Sony STR-1040?? amp but the that will need updating to something newer for Atmos.
I'm not sure about in wall units for the sides and rear. I think it will partly come down to the orientation and which room gets used for it.
The right hand Snug has great views and higher ceilings of 3m and was my first choice, with the tv on the north wall. But blocking walk throughs and limiting furniture placement with speakers is going to annoy the other half.
I'm leaning towards an 85" oled screen. But a projector with retractable screen is an option for a bigger picture. There's a lot of full height windows though and we wouldn't want to always have them blacked out for viewing normal tv. Maybe we start with a smaller oled for day to day viewing and add the projector and screen further down the line.
I'm wondering what others would suggest, I've only started researching this and very much an amateur, so I'm sure there's things I'm not considering.
Here's the plans, two good sized options. Neither room will have the stove indicated.
