everettT – Thanks for the suggestion.
Swerd – I don’t think you’re looking at the plans correctly. Yes it’s 24ft wide but that’s the back of the theater where the concession stand is. The screen wall is on the opposite end of the room.
The ears in the first row of seats will be approx. 12ft away from the front of the speakers. As for power, I already have 2 Outlaw Model 7900 amps. As far as I can tell, they’re simply a rebranded version of the ATI 6707 Morris Kessler Signatures which are 300wpc into 8ohms.
Yes, I fully intend to get in touch with Mr. Salk or Mr. Murphy.
BoredSysAdmin – I agree, house should have gone for a lot more. Love the island in the pool and the TV in the shower! Thanks for the info and the links.
Steve81 – I considered that at first but for some reason it just doesn’t wind my binder. However I’m not ruling it out. I’ll go that route if I have to.
shadyJ – Thanks for the suggestions and yes, I already have 2 SVS PB12+. Plans allow for 2 more in the back if need be.
AcuDefTechGuy & rojo – Ha Ha! I like your sense of humor. Thanks.
Thanks for the suggestions everyone - feel free to make more. Please keep in mind that I want this room to double as a music listening room as well. I’m not looking for a HT only set-up or sheer loudness. I’m sure this system will have sufficient power to drive the speakers to levels too high for my own good.
