Layd Dly's New HT Thread

[Layd Dly]

Well since i never did a thread for my current HT, i figured i would do one for my new one. Since i cant build a new Bigger HT at my current place i just went ahead and decided to build a whole house instead. (...and we also needed more space)

Since my house is still currently being built, i cant really start yet but figured id get the thread going for q&a and ideas. Now this wont be a huge Custom Cinema Style Basement HT, as in the great state of Florida we are without basements, so this will have to do. However this one will be bigger than my current Bedroom HT and has a much friendlier layout. This HT is definitley going to be front projection, (Im even having the builder put in power on the ceiling for me ) Not even about to haul my 61" Sammy DLP up stairs, instead it will become part of my new living room HT and my 42" LCD will be banished to the master Bedroom.

The tough part will be getter decent gear for affordable pricing, high-end gear is out of the questions especially with my mortgage going up a bit, but i don't want the lowest end either. pretty much all purchases wont be made until we are in the house as we are still compiling money for all our closing & pre-paids and a few upgrades that we opted to do ourselves. So feel free to help out with affordable suggestions.
