Default Dedicated Video only

O.K. I'll be setting up a video only room and have some ?'s. I know you guys and gals will help me spend my money.
I can leave my Mac amps and B&W's as my Main MUSIC only listening room OR move those to my VIDEO only room.

Not sure If Ill relocate my HTM2D or buy diff. speakers. I was thinking of purchasing smaller size speakers but using 10ch to fill the room with a sub of course.

I could buy a Denon 10ch amp with matching Pre (around $12,000) Still need speakers. I'm really torn here. My 1st option was to purchase Mc pre-amp and move my MX-136 into the theater room. I prefer to keep everything matching, all Mc, Denon, or whatever amps and all matching speakers.
Is it best to have casket size speakers with a 5.1 design or use smaller but more speakers in a 10.1ch design (this may cause controversy). I want the room to feel surrounded like a movie theater (don't we all). Has anyone tried 10 speakers and compared them in a movie only environment?
I guess my last option is to move ALL my amps and speakers to my movie room and use 2ch. remaining from my MC205 for music listening but I don't think Ill be as happy compared to my MC501's. I don't want to sacrifice my 2ch Music or Video. I guess I want the best of both in separate rooms. I've read other posts but that just leaves me second guessing, I don't want an impulse purchase and regret it later. If you had your say.. top 3 best video only processors what you buy? At 1st I was leaning toward the Denon AVP/POA option, they dropped in price quite alot. OR am I looking at this wrong, do I need to spend $40,000+ (speaker and amps) to have a great sounding theater room, same effort as a music room. See, here I go again, over thinking in circles. I look forward to your replies. Reading more review.
