I am putting in a home theater that I want to use for a music listening room too. The goal is putting together something amazing. I joined the forum because I've been looking for a good source of information whose livelihood doesn't depend on me buying what he/she sells.
The list below (suggested by a local retailer and leading candidate to sell it to me) is just the equipment for the room and I'm looking for the Forum's insight on how they would amend it. Only the first two items have been purchased. Everything else is open to revision. If you're looking for a number, the current budget is $150,000 for the equipment only. Installation and setup costs are on top. The only things I'm keeping from the current setup is an Apple 4k TV and the air in the room. Everything else goes. I have a 1Gb internet speed connection in the room if that is helpful.
Rather than get into room configuration and its important role in the choice, assume that the list below is appropriate for the room.
