Interesting topic since Im mid stream on this for my new room.

I purchased two in wall speakers for one of my walls and two corner mount speakers for the side where Ive got a bunch of windows. (I will post pics soon).

The whole room was gutted during remodeling so I was able to run Cat5 Network Cable, Coax (for the satellite), and phone line for the simple fact that the walls were open and it was easy.

All the speaker wire is inside the walls and starts in the same corner where the bar will eventually be.

Im using an Apple TV to control the the whole thing. That way I can use it as a music relay (if my main computer is on) or it can play music on its own (like an Ipod) OR I can store digitized movies on it like Old Elvis flicks and such.

Ive got an old Denon receiver that will supply power to the whole setup. Im probably going to get a self powered sub so that I can round out the highs with some warm lows.

Unfortunately with all this planning you never know what its going to sound like until you actually turn it on for the first time.
