Sorry in advance for the long note and all the questions.
I'm building a Home Theater / Game / Bar combo room. Based on the rave reviews for PI and a hankering to build something, I plan on going DIY.
The room will be ~ 25x33 with a 8 to 15' vaulted ceiling (the vault's center line is along the long axis & LCR / Screen at the narrow end so the LCRs may have ceiling reflection issues). Room will have a lot of wood including ceiling, floors & beams. Pretty, but lots of volume needs (10000 cubic feet of air) and opportinities for ugly reflections.
Equipment I already have, which I'd like to use to get me started for this application: Sub - VMPS Larger Megawoofer (specs here http://www.vmpsaudio.com/sub1.htm ) & NHT SA-3 mono amp, Surround AMP - Rotel 1095 250w x 5 to drive 5 of the speakers.
1) What do you suggest I use for the PI L/R Center and Surrounds for this application?
2) I was looking at the Theater fours & sevens, would that be enough to get decent theater level decibels at prime seating (~15 feet back from the Center) using the Rotel?
3) Do you have any Surround, Dipole, Center channel kits in the works?
4) Should I use the four pi all around accept for the LRs in a 6.1 - 7.2 setup? I've got 3-4 months before construction is complete, so plenty of time to sell / buy / build components.
5) Do I have enough sub, should i get another one, should I sell this one and build yours, if I build yours would I need two.
6) Is the Rotel above a decent amp for this application and what would you suggest for the LRs another Rotel?
