Joel,
1. By the looks of it, you have faith in Mr. Grimani and you really want to continue with him. Faith/good feeling in a builder/designer when doing work on a house is ofcourse a big plus.
2. His initial proposal is too steep. So discuss this with him. Tell him you have x amount to spent and he should design a system for that amount. Very simple actually
3. Focus on the room first. I see a big list of equipment, but what about the room?
4. Reuse some of your current equipment?
Robbo, great minds think alike as this is exactly what is being done...the two key questiosn with this approach are:
1. How much will the cost savings compromise the end result...a question for Mr. Grimani to answer; and
2. Pending the answer to 1. should consideration be given to spending 2X -- as large as a sum as this is -- to call it day, build MY ultimate room, at a cost not only of money but also in time as this will take 12 to 18 months to build as I refuse to borrow money for a home theatre..
As far as reusing existing kit all existing kit is being reused...the current / old speakers are in the family room as they too are in-wall..
