[Solved] Designing Home Cinema Audio System: Cable Types, Equipment, Construction Considerations

Welcome,

I am buying a flat in a semi-detached house in the developer standard. I would like to make a proper audio system for "home cinema" in the salon. I am not a connoisseur.

How to design it? What is important and what to remember? What should I ask the developer to do at the construction stage (e.g. plastering, flooring, etc.)? What cables and equipment to use?

A request for help and advice.

Pre-read too little data you provided

Larger experts will certainly advise on the quality of cables, speaker placement, etc.
In turn, I would suggest putting more than one cable to each speaker. Recently I was at a friend who put only one cable for each speaker and when he wanted to use it - it turned out that the speakers he selected had 4 inputs - that is, you would need one more cable for each speaker. More about this here http://loudspeaker.pl/bi-wiring-bi-amping/

The second thing - if possible, I recommend placing the cables in PVC pipes - thanks to this, in a few / several years you will be able to replace the cables without tearing the walls. I have an attic above the ceiling and thanks to the pipes I can pull out the old cable from above and push in the new one.

Consider also buying flush-mounted loudspeaker sockets - some just throw the cable into the plaster and then the cable protrudes from the plaster, but once it looks ugly and two, that later it is either too long or too short and you need to piece. And if there is a socket, you can push the excess cable into the box and from the outside there is only a nice socket.

The living room will be with a kitchenette.
The living room itself has approx. 21 m2 area.
On one wall there will be a TV, on the left wall there will be a large (about 3m long) window to the floor.
There will be no opposite wall because there is a kitchenette and a corridor with stairs (built-in wardrobe under the stairs).
Opposite TV will be "rest"
Condition will be developer, i.e. poured floor with underfloor heating (I don't know if it matters).

Speakers probably 5.1. so with cables alone I can handle it.
You will need to route the cables to the opposite wall to "relax".
I thought that in the floor (in the floor) the developer would put a cable conduit for me in which I could pull the appropriate cables myself. At the wall, as part of the finish, I would let go of the cables in the floor strip to the right place.

The question is whether this is a good idea or not?
A request for alternative suggestions (if any), a suggestion of the type, type, cable specification (I do not know it) and suggestions as to the position and type / model / specification of the speakers.
