I am venturing into unfamiliar territory.


I have decided to put together a Home Theater system that will be used ONLY for watching TV, and DVD's. I have chosen the Pioneer Elite PRO 1110 Plasma. I need to decide on speakers and a receiver/processor. I am not looking for high end sound. Just something that will enliven the visual experience. If possible I would prefer to go with in-wall speakers. Budget is in the $3000 range for all.
I know that this question probably belongs on another site, but I feel that on Audiogon, I have a frame of reference. Besides, I'd rather hang out with two channel guys anyday.
Thanks

I'm like you, don't care a whole lot about home theatre but put one together for the family. I like the Gallo Micro speakers cuz they're small and all in all do a good job, the wee sub can make the damned room shake on explosions and such. Mated with a quality receiver (if I had to do it all over again I'm go with an Outlaw) a decent DVD player, and a programmable universal remote and you'll be well within your budget. Bear in mind the biggest expense in HT is the speaker wire, you need lots of it! I used 12 gauge stuff from Home Depot, looked like Monster and struck me as more sturdy than the wire that ships with the Gallos. Good luck, Jeff

I have no experence with in-wall speakers, I've saw this same question posted before and don't think many others have experence with these types.

You could take a look at the new Maggie designed wall mount panels, these are designed to swing out from the wall when in use. They would probably look very nice with one mounted each side of your plasma and have that same low-profile look when not in use. Good luck.

I have been watching those new Magnapans. They are available factory-direct and you get a free trial.
