OT - Home theatre advice Options

[mike_the_man]

Hi all,

I'm sure there are some audio/video-philes on here, and I respect everybody's opinion here, so I figured I'd ask.

I'm looking to set up a home theatre system in my basement. It's going to be a pretty large room (around 600 sq ft). I'm planning to get a projector, 5.1 surround speakers, and a decent receiver.

So far, I've been thinking about a InFocus X1 projector, a Yamaha RX-V750 receiver, and B&W VM1 speakers, with a sub.

Does anybody have any thoughts on this? Suggestions for other things I should look at? I'm not looking to spend too much, maybe $2500 - $3000.

Thanks,

I suggest you go to the forums (just like this one) for hometheater experts. I went through this about a year ago and Hometheatermagazine.com (or something like that) had tons of usefull info. As syked as I was about the prospect of buying all this equiptment, I was thoroughly sick of the whole subject once all was said and done. In other words, be prepared..everyone has an opinion and you can overdose on it. Oh, and another suggestion is to research one piece at a time. Make sure you find out the best piece and the best price and it's usually cheaper to buy over the net than you're local BestBuy or whatever. HTH.
