Just remember that if you try it and it does not work, you might have created more work for the pro to come back in fix it. It will cost you more than if the pro just came in did the project from the beginning.
Good luck,, none the less. The Speakercraft set-up is a good recommendation.

You could buy the new Apple iMac G5 which now has "Front Row" with a remote control to run music and video with an iPod style menu. It's flat enough to wall mount. Add speakers, and an amp and connect them with an M-Audio "USB Transit" for optical out audio.
It would not make sense to "hire a pro" for such a simple setup. Not everyone has a 5 figure budget for a home theater set-up.
Would be interested to hear from all the "Hire A Pro" folks as to what their typical consulting fees are as well as their typical equipment budgets.

There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far. |
