I installed 2 owner-supplied Axiom home theater systems for a great customer (I am an electrician, not an HT expert), and I'm ready to buy my own now. For my 13x14x8'high room I'm thinking of W3 fronts, QS4 surrounds, a VP150 center, and an EP350 sub. I am planning on getting a Yamaha RX-V1600 receiver. The use will be primarily home theater, and not necessarily for watching romantic comedies;) My qustion is are the VP150 and EP350 overkill? When I use the home theater wizard, the more money I put in, the bigger the speakers get, all other considerations being the same.
Also, anyone have any recommendations on a cheaper to mid-level HDMI DVD player? One feature that's important to me is fast control response, as I am constantly loading and changing DVD's for my kids. Thanks everyone.
