Hello and welcome to forum.
The length and width of room is good for HT setup.
Plan your wiring/Pipe work in advance. (Contact your electrician, basic guidelines are given below)
I assume that the Slab/roof work has already been done.
Now you can only route the pipe in floor-wall or wall-wall combination.
For front speaker's placement leave one foot from side walls and place a junction box there and one junction box in the centre. (The junction box at center has to be large one, all the pipes from the front and rear will meet here)
For 5.1 :- Place two junction boxes at 6 feet level from ground on the back wall at a distance of 2-3 feet from side walls
For 7.1:- Place two junction boxes at 6 feet level from ground level on the side wall at a distance of 4-5 feet from side walls
Use at least 16 Gauge oxygen free 2.0 wire
Regarding equipment:- Its a very very subjective, search forums to finalize the same.
Either adopt the streaming or downloading or DVD/Bluray media route.
For best possible quality DVD/Bluray's is the best option.
