my 2 cents...

if you are serious abt home cinema, first phase spend on your room design first..if budget permits, hired one qualify sound engineer which can design such a setup(some may do it part time for you--side income.. ) Room design is very important as if you have a good room setup, chapalaang system will sounds like a million dollar system. Without knowing your room, how are you going to know which system to purchase?

Room renovation you will only do once while equipment wise you will definitely upgrade along the way due to poison by forummers here, or the self injected ones

HT equipment seller will tell you they can design for you but i say they are not qualify....

happy hunting
