I have built three home theaters in the last 10 years. This last one is roughly 15 x 20' and it is the smallest one I have built. After a long period of time I decided to go with a 5.2.2 system. I had Eric from Texton build me a custom made in wall double impact speakers for the right center and left onto atmos speakers for the rear ceiling. He then surprised me with two humongous subwoofers. I have 130 inch screen with a Sony 695 projector. My amp is an Integra drx 11 channel. There is no DVD involved as we will be streaming everything from music to movies to sports.
I just moved in and needless to say the room is acoustically perfect and sounds outstanding. Because the speakers are in wall there is no clutter and I only have one amp that also saves space and still puts out enough power to drive the speakers extremely well. So even though you can get DDD players or 200 bucks, you might as well get a decent amp and speakers depending on your budget.
