Hello all,I have been a member of {mtbr.com} sister site since 1996.
DieHard Mntbiker I am. I knew one day this would happen. Me having
enough Money to post these questions for ya all. Here we go. The Wife
and I are doing a Full make over of our Living Room.

1. New Entertainment Center. This Exact one.
http://www.tvstands.com/Parker-House...X-PKR1147.html

2. New TV

3. Yahama or Onkyo reciever,10" Woofer,center channel,the works speaker package.

4. This power supply that keep's All current even? Dont know what it's called?
it regulates uneven surges of electricity to all your gear? Can cost 100 to 400
dollars. Sorry, I dont know what it's called.

Last some new couch'es,not important,but will add to the enjoyment,and actually
what I am most pumped up about.

Ok,the area is 12 feet by 14 feet. I will sit 9 feet from the screen in a relaxed position.
There is 4 beam's above my head with One Support beam in the Center of the room.
That center beam is at 9 feet,give or take from the wall. The couch butt's up to it.
Speaker's can be put on the beam above me.

But do I want "The" beam above me,{connected to the Suppor Beam},or one beam "Behind" me? How far should I spread the speaker's above me? Another problem I
have{specs's on the link} is that I only have a little over 3" for my center channel?
Do even make a Proper 3" Tall Center channel? I see some of you run the Woofer
up front,IMHO it is best to have the Woofer in the Rear?

TV,I am a Sony Man. I have a 08 XBR 32" in my bedroom. According to "Smokey's"
Chart he posted,I can go as big as 70"s which sound's Stupid? Way to big? I was
thinkin 46" before I came here and did homework by reading. Now I am really confused.
My buddie tell's me 52". I DO NOT want to look like an idiot because I outdid myself!
I can not make a mistake with this kind of money.

SamSung UN55BB8000 55" LED
Pansonic V10 55{or it's highest model}
Sony 2010 Model XBR. Is that LED?

Is LED even dialed in yet? I have no idea. I like LCD. I like Plasma.
Reading here scares me on buying a Plasma? Panasonic pulled out of the market
and I thought they were the Best with the "Elite" series?

I play video games with my son,mabye 4 hours a week on our Sony PlayStation 3
{online}. Ultimate crispness HERE is what I am looking for,the games have soo
much going on. I play War Games.

I watch Music video's of Live Concert's on DVD,Sound is important. I love music.

I watch Football and Soccer/Football. Both of which I am a die hard fan. Soccer does
not come in HD unless it's on ESPN.

I am thinkin Sony here boy's? What is the latest Sony on the Market?

Oh,the ET center can Expand up to 70". It's white glove service,so I need to know
what TV I am getting so they can set it up to the right size.

Speakers I was thinkin,Polk,Kiplish{sp?} but I have this center channel problem? I just
want quality,and be able to turn up my Music.

Is Wireless speaker for the rear any good? That way I have no cable? So far it
seems wireless is Not as good as hardwire. Am I wrong?

I just had DirectTV set my HD box. I am ready there. I am bumping up to 10 gig's
on my Computer/Playstaion. Only at 1.35 right now.


Last,I am not setting this up. I want a Pro. I will buy it all,but not set it up. It's too much
for me. I dont know what I'm doing. I was thinking I would have a friend do it{does this
for a living}or sub it out to a Pro. The Wife say's "No" to the friend,so does my buddy.
I can do as I wish,but I take all thought's on the matter before pullin the trigger. Can
someone out there give me a name of Company in the Bay Area CA that could help
me? The clock is tickin on me,I have maybe a week,at most two.

Thank You for reading my babble,I hope I gave you enough info to help me. Peace
