It’s a broad topic, better handled there. Feel free to ask if you can’t find it via google.
Hey guys,
I have come to the decision to make my own home theater in the spare room I have. However, I don't know where to start. I need some advice on the equipment, i.e. which elements are the best to use for the best quality of sound and image. Also, this may not be the place to ask, but I would also like to somewhat "hide" the equipment when not in use.
Thank you guys in advance!
