Hi, I'm a noob to home theatre so hoping for some advice and direction.
I have a room pretty much 13' square and is near enough a blank canvas. We have no neighbours on the external walls and only our bedroom above it. Kids in the process of leaving home, and have been wondering what to do with the room for a few years.will only be my wife and I and friends for the odd occasion. My wife and I dance so want a good music sound system as well, we want to be able to push the sofas back, roll up the carpet and boogie! However, TBH I have no idea where to start and don't have a huge budget. I like my music, wifey does too but not so bothered. We have a Pioneer stereo with turntable that's nice and a stack of vynil that we want to keep. I can buy bits as I go - doesn't all need to be at once. We have a 32" TV but are looking at a projector and have a good size wall that we can use as a screen - i believe you can get projector screen paint? The reciever is my main concern.
I work in IT and my home VMware lab runs a Plex media server which is great! I am in the process of ripping my DVDs to it, and all our digital music is on it.
So - blank canvas, need ideas and guidance. Over to the experts....
