re: Building a home pre-wired for 5.1

If you can handle floor standing speakers then movies will sound just fine through them. Only my opinion.

I would do floor-standing speakers but the house comes pre-wired with 5.1 (four in ceiling, sub and soundbar ground level.)

I have another vinyl rig I'm setting up in my office for personal use and just plan on having my father's old Onkyo setup in living room for when guests are over and my wife & I listen to music while cooking/relaxing. Thanks for the advice, though!

As for in-wall vs others, all depends on what you are looking for. You can get some in-wall speakers that are almost as good as one that isn't, and certainly better than a bose cube speaker.

I'm leaning more towards just installing posts, as mentioned, and buying speakers to mount to those because I've hear in-wall have reverberation problems and I'm too chicken-shite to cut my own drywall for installation; installing posts seems like a better/easier option.
