I'm building a new home out on the west coast here in Canada. I'd love to wire the house for sound, but I really don't like how quickly the technology stuck inside the walls becomes obsolete. I have looked at systems like Nuvo and Prodigy, but I'm seriously contemplating not doing any prewiring and just going with room focused sound from a Bose (or equivalent) in-room sound system.
*Edit* The house is being prewired for gigabit ethernet with an easily accessible head end. There are two recreation rooms that will accommodate a home theatre system in each, ie. 40-50inch television with amplifier and 5.1 sound systems. Its the aspect of wiring the rest of the house for sound that I'm concerned about at this point.
I'd appreciate any thoughts from the community, could you share your build experiences and/or experiences with either option? The house is now framed on the interior, the HVAC, plumbing and rough electrical are having their way with the house, and the gyprock is going up in four weeks - I suppose that if I want to do this without having to punch holes in the walls in the future, now is the time to really do this!
Thanks very much.
