its not going to be so much of a home theater room were like 20people are going to come, just like for 10people at the max and thats only like 1 once or twice a year, usually it will be 2-4 people and i was thinking of just getting couch's, instead of like the home theater room chairs, but still i could get them aswell, if u could list the price for 1?
i would like either a projector, hd not fuzzy stuff, or a 3d tv,
lots and lots of sound!
by that i mean, mostly alot of bass
i would like to know what i should get, and how much everythin will cost together
plus i want to use it for my ps3, xbox, tv, and bluray player aswell, all connected by hdmi, so i need more outputs.
my room is 18x18, i could change it up now, before its built, and i got about 20k to spend on electronics etc.
if u know, please list someone who can do the whole setup, like lights, room design on the inside, colour, and where to put speakers, etc for me, just the design on paper, please right down their names, i live in Vancouver BC canada.

I would take a look around at sites and see what other people have done for that size room, You may also want to take a look at DLP models, they are less expensive than plasma and LCD in sizes 70inch and above, and less wiring than projectors, an electrician can help you do a lot of things and are usually less expensive than home Cinema installers but what an electrician is not going to know are the latest ideas in technology . and acoustic theory.a good place in your area for ideas and advise is Home Cinema 604-606-1888 also see link for other places, that do that type of work, for in wall speakers you may want to take a look at Definitive Technology, or Boston Acoustics if your home theater is going to be a dedicated room you probably want to go with an in-wall installed speaker system, it gives your room a more professional look less wires showing, customized sound, and you can use custom built speakers designed for your room, and acoustics...for Electronics I would look at Integra or Rotel what you really need to do though is do research on your own look at other theaters that people have made get acquainted with the equipment that is available, with acoustic theory, and whats being done and why, that way you can make intelligent decisions about your choices and whats needed and whats not... Today with the Internet the amount of information is incredible, and there are plenty of people that have knowledge and advise on every aspect

Best home theater setup new home ??? Plz help....?
SagarA
i have taken a new flat with a dedicated home theater room in it, so i would like to know the best items fitting my budget...
i would like to get a tv, a projector screen of 10*8, a projector, amps, best speaker setup mostly 5.1 or 7.1 --- all of this under 25000$
the home theater room is decent size with 8*10 inch screen easily fitting on the breadth side and has low light coming in during day and completely dark during night
For projectors i was considering runco ls-5 or panasonic ae8000.
I have no idea abt screen.
tv would be minimum 65 inch so mostly considering samsung smart tv es9000.
For speakers i was thinking about the bowers and wilkins mini theatre 5.1 setup.
also need some idea about the best amp along with airplay function.
I am not sure about any of these so would like ur recommendations on all of the devices considering my budget and also wanted to know if the small bowers and wilkins mini theater would be as powerful as some of the huge speakers i could get at that price and also recommend me a bluray player.
also i would like to know if this low end 3 year old runco projector would be better than any other new jvc or panasonic projectors like panasonic ae8000 released this september 2012 at this price point, if not which will be the best and is there any tv better than the new samsung es9000
give me ur suggestions and dont tell me to go and see an audiophile because there are no good audiophiles in india

Hello Sarga
Well it looks like your looking at some nice gear, I just don't know what your budget is in US dollars.
Its unfortunate you say you have no high end audio video dealers in India. There is allot to consider when designing and installing a home theater system so you will need to find someone who has some good technical knowledge in home audio video system installation.
First there are some important things to consider when installing any good home theater system, and that would be power requirements, lighting, ventilation, heating and air conditioning, getting cable or satelite to the equipment location as well as Data. Ideally you can have a equipment room just off the main theater room with easy access to load software. Seating which if it needs to support many guests then you most likely will need to figure out levels of seats so there is no unobstructed view or from sound. Speaker choices and placement, as well as addressing the acoustics of the room. Screen size, and throw distance of the projector.
So as you can see there is much to figure out and much of it must be pre-planned so you have the best experience.
Lets address power first: You need sufficient power so everything runs efficiently and with no issues. Depending upon the level of the system amplifier requirements you may need several dedicated lines of power. Ideally 20 amp or at least 15 amp circuits. These should be AC lines pulled from one side of the electrical panel. This will assure proper phase which minimizes any issues with ground loop hums. Do not use Romex, use 10 gauge solid core copper in its own dedicated conduit. A separate copper ground rod berried 8ft in the ground for its dedicated ground. Don't forget you will need power at the equipment location as well as the TV and projector locations.
Wiring: First there is a difference in the sound and video quality of cables, so buy the best cables you can afford. Make sure all cables are fire rated approved so they meet code. Do not run any cables next to power lines, if they must cross, have them cross at a 90 angle. Be careful not to puncture the cables if stapling them down to studs.
Run a 3 inch plastic flexible conduit to both video locations ( TV and Projector) this will allow you to pull additional cables in the future if its ever needed, keeping a pull string in them at all times. You will need backing or support for TV and projector locations to support them.
Very important to consider ventilation especially at the equipment location as they generate a significant amount of heat which must be ventilated. You want cool air fans on the equipment and reversed fans to pull heat away and out.
Lighting consider you needs for proper lighting modes. Look into Lutron lighting which can be controlled by your remote to create moods, which is important to get the best image quality.
Remote control operation: is very important so it makes the system enjoyable and easy to use. You will need someone very knowledgeable about remote control programming so everything can be operated easily from ONE remote.
As for the gear I don't have enough space to talk about gear but will be happy to send you my recommendations if you email me. For TV's get the Panasonic TC- P55Vt50 that is a no brainier its the best set going right now. As for the projector yes the Panasonic PT -AE8000 is excellent especially for the money. I love the auto aspect ratio adjustment so you can have a 2;35 to 1 aspect ratio screen ( which is the hot setup) and then auto adjust to the other aspect ratios without the need of a very expensive anamorphic len's system.
Runco makes excellent projectors put the older models are outdated and will not compete with many of the new 1080p models. JVC also makes some very nice reasonably priced projectors that provide excellent picture, and it only goes up from there.
Do not forget to have both the TV and projector properly calibrated preferably from a ISF technician or take your time and learn to go it yourself with a good calibration disc like Video Essentials blu ray.
The audio is also very important and since I don't have enough space feel free to email me
