yes they are, my mistake... decisions decisions.. I would go 4 if your budget allows... But in saying this your room is not exactly long(4.5mtrs) I have gone 7.2.4 which has blown my budget!(room is 7mtr) but I have been buying things on sale so I have paired it down a little. Next on my list is the...

No. look at the dolby site for speaker position. mixo

If i was you I would be installing cables in for 4 ceiling speakers and for 7.1 system.Even if you never go 7.1.4 at least you have it easy when you decide to do so. Cable is cheap... mixo

Depends on your builder. mixo

yep 6K is way out of my budget for an Amp... Sounds you are well on your way. mixo

not yet but i do have all my ceiling speakers ready to go!( 4 for atmos) so in the end I will have a 7.1.4 system(and if there is money left 7.2.4) mixo

I want to change these whitco hand winders to electric as these windows are high and cannot be done by hand without a big stick winder! If they can be done can you let me know who does this kind of thing so I can get it done before the I put them up! http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r630/mixo66/w...

I don't know about you guys, but I find it therapeutic? to go in and clean up, see what stage they are up to of course wishing they go faster! mixo

Oh god yes, builders are ferral to be kind.they might do a good job but they leave sh!t everywhere. I go in weekends with the kids and clean up all their crap(food containers , nails everywhere and wood). My build has slowed down big time, hope they start to move again. mixo

I go once a day and the weekend i'll be up there clearing up the garden and pruning trees back. Its always good to see the lads working on our place. Its not so good when nothing seems to happen for days or weeks on end! mixo
