I've finally finished clearing out the room that was formerly my study, and want now to think of how to turn it into the mega boys-toys room I always wanted it to be. Never having paid much regard to home cinema, i'd like some advice on where to start looking. The room is fairly small.... 8 foot wide and 11 foot long. So once i've stuck a sofa in at one end, I guess the viewing distance will be around 10 foot.
While I'm fairly ok about choosing my own telly, I need some guidance as to what a suitable sound rig would be. is 5.1 overkill in a room of that dimensions? What speaker sets are appropriate for small room dimensions, and what receivers would you recommend to drive these? Price-wise.... hmmm maybe about £6k for everything. telly and sofa included. so lets say £4.5k for the receiver & speakers....although spending less would be great!
cheers.
