I am building a new home and decided to put $15k to $20k into a HT setup.

I have been out of the loop for about 2 years and was wondering if you guys could recommend the best setup for a room 24'x12'.

I need a TV that can be hung on a wall. I need a receiver, dvd, speakers.

-Should I do 7.1 6.1 or 5.1?
-What is the latest and best connection to the TV and DVD (Still component?)


I need to call the subcontractor and set up a meeting for next week and would like to know what you guys think on the types and sizes of the wires and where they should be place around the room also.

Sorry about not doing more reading but I am so pressed for time lately and I know you guys are up on the latest in HT.

Thanks
