Quick update, house has been gutted to it's entirety. Nothing left but the shell. HVAC system for the first floor is complete and bran new electrical service has been installed. Now on the the family room theater!

New fireplace has been installed...



and here is a pick of the wall, with a paper cut out of the TV for measuring purposes....



Notice all the conduit going up from the basement to knee wall. Now I just need to run some conduit behind the TV and I can get started on all my wiring, including the houses network, TV, and phone lines.

In the meantime I might take advantage of emotiva's holiday sale and pick up their 5.1 amp. Still deciding if I want to place the QS8's on stands or install on the wall....suggestions?
