I haven't been posting in a while as I've been working on my new Home Theater!
Here is the final setup:
- Sanyo Z2 LCD projector. 1280x720 widescreen.
- Paradigm Monitor speakers. I got Monitor 7s in front with the CC-370 center and the ADP-370 dipole surrounds. I picked these up in Canada on Chris' recommendation.
- SVS 20-39PCi subwoofer. This thing is a beast! It is over 3 feet high and can really shake the walls.
- Denon AVR-3803 reciever. There was a great deal going on these. Otherwise it would have been way out of my price range.
- ReplayTV 5504 as a TV tuner. I got one of these as it was priced wrong at Circuit City. Normally it is ~$450 with 3 years of service, but they were selling them for $150 with 3 years of service as they had updated the pricing for no included service but the units they still had did have the free service.
- XBox. Some games (like Amped 2) do 720p natively. They look pretty sweet.
I also built my own ceiling mount for the projector and had a friend help me build and paint a screen. I'll put some pictures up when things get further along.
