I found this site and feel like I may have found a way out of woods..All your information is invaluable. Here is my issue. Want to outfit my finished basement with drop ceiling with Home Theater ie Plasma Receiver etc. I have decided to go with Pioneer Elite 50" Problem is I got four estimates by installers and they all came up with different opinions on equipment etc. My budget is 11-12k. I was thinking of putting all speakers in ceiling rather than have towers or mounts. Here is suggested equipment and feel free to add any others:
TV-Pioneer Elite 1010 Monitor/Pioneer Elite 1120 TV(All say picture is same on both but Pioneer tells me 1120 has different drive system which produces better color gradation. Obviously if I am going to spend the money I want best possible picture) Any views?
Receiver-Denon AVR3805/Pioneer VSX52TX/Marantz SR 5500
5 DVD/CD-Denon1815/Pioneer DVC36/Marantz VC4400
Speakers-Speakcraft AIM,CRS/Sonance Ellipse,Surround/Niles,Polk, Pinnacle(is it a mistake not to use towers or wall mounts..one was pushing for me to put Pinnacle on wall sides and below screen)(will i sacrifice a lot of sound with ceiling mounts?)
Remote-ProntoTSU3000/Harmony SST676/Home Theater Master/Universal Remote MX350
Power Conditioner etc-Panamax 4300
Also read its best to use a dedicated circuit for plasma as draw from it and components may affect overall performance.
Any feedback thoughts..thxs for all
