Those dogs are a good deterrant!  If I put it against the wall, where could I mount my rear speakers without creating a big mess with wires?

[itsjustaphone]

Run wire under the base board and either put them on stands against the side wall or mount them on the side wall.

My recommended setup for you:

Martin Logan Motion 10 towers x2 $500

Martin Logan Motion 6 Center speaker $400

Martin Logan Motion 2 Rears $400

Martin Logan Dynamo 500 SUbwoofer $500

Yamaha RX-A710 AV receiver $550

Alternate:

Klipsch KF-26 towers x2 $700

Klipsch KC-25 Center $280

Klipsch KS-14 Rears $280

Klipsch SW-450 subwoofer $470

Marantz NR1402 AV Receiver $400  (klipsch are more energy efficient, meaning a smaller receiver will work just fine)

Welcome to the thread wamerk.  So the room is 25 ft wide what is the length and the height of the ceiling?  What rooms are above this area and is there any soundproofing in the ceilings and walls.  Will you mind if the floor is shaking LOL?  You have an extremely huge space to fill and thats going to be very difficult for a sub or even multiple subs to fill and or towers. Based on what I see in the diagram I will also try to recommend some things.  Keep in mind that what I recommend and Darkwing recommends any wires and cable for video and audio connection are not included.

I would say you definitely need 2 Subs i recommend BIC F-12 or the VK-12 and then the following.  This is based on the size of the room and focusing on sound continuing past the seating.

Just adding to what Dark chose as I mentioned you definitely will need 2 subs.

Thank you for all that information. I tried to look up good mid-range priced A/V receivers and Denon won the top pick by CNet as well. The ceiling layout is quite obstructive and hard to explain so I drew it out for you:

Mustang,

Sorry here is the picture:

Missing 10' there somewhere.  Maybe the entire wall is 25'?

I am out of the market for a new TV this Christmas, wife bought me an AR-15 instead(I have a VERY cool wife).  Pretty stoked and considering my current tv is only 2 yrs old I'm okay with waiting another cpl years.
