The $75,000 Multi-Zone Home Theater System

We decided to go all out on this $75,000 whole house audio system and include mostly top notch products priced right at the crest of that place where your budget hits the point of diminishing returns. This means we included some of the finest A/V products "smart" money can buy. You can possibly do better, but not likely for the price. In either case, we provide some alternates along the way should you want to branch out from our top recommendations, or upgrade them. To come up with a quality four zone whole-house A/V system that can power two simultaneous discrete multi-channel home theater rooms for around $75K was no small task.  With the inclusion of future expandability and upgradeability, along with the primary room being acoustically analyzed and treated for optimal performance, this is one flexible solution for a receipt of happiness and content not just for the audio and videophiles, but for the whole family as well.

As mentioned, this system is going to run an entire home with four (4) zones, including two complete home theater rooms and expandability. The kicker is that we decided to do it with a single receiver as the front end - the Denon AVR-5805CI. Why? Because it measured extremely well, performs better than separates costing much more, and allows us the ability to easily configure the multiple zones all from one convenient chassis.
