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, |

Forget the Infocus x1 projector cheap but outdated, I have been researching for one my self for quite awhile, the new infocus 4805 is way better but needs room darkening to get the most out of it, the new Panasonic ae 700u looks to be the best for the money right now it has native hdtv resolution and has eliminated the screen door effect. I am looking at the 4805 at Costco right now it is bundled with the screen for 1,300. go here to read the latest reviews.
