I'm a new member to this forum but usually look at Agon for most of my info. Anyways, I currently have B&W N804's with Cary Audio Tube amp and Preamps. I like it a lot better than s.s.! Much more base and warmer sound. I use this as a 2 channel only for CDs and TT.
Anyways, I venturing off into building an HT system in the family room. Problem is the room is not very big and I dont want obtrusive speakers all over the place. So I figured I would do 5:1 with ceiling speakers. Most likely do the CCM 80's in the front and center channel. (I have 8 foot ceilings) and do the CCM 65's in the rear. I figure one CCM 80's in the front middle might be a good center channel. I figured a good Integra DTR7.8 would be a good choice to run the HT whilst running my outdoor Bose Freestyles. I figured runing a ASW610xp sub. I really did'nt want to go overboard on the equipment because I plan on refacing my fireplace up to the celing and intalling a Sony W series 46 inch LCD above the mantel. Cant use a center channel because of the size of the mantel plus dont want a big speaker attached to the wall.
Anybody got some input on how to improve this system? any ideas, advise. How have the speakers performed for you? I want the components in the basement so I also need some ideas on universal remotes. I want to just turn on the tv and have everythig running, just want to change the channel and that's about it. DVD will be used sometimes I have an old Sony Progressive Scan that used to be a hot item about 5 years ago. Probably used it 10 times.
