Electrical planning - sockets

Multimedia connections including speakers behind the TV/AV_Receiver are a must, but please no socket orgies where a lowboard or similar will stand later anyway. Use a nice power strip and enjoy the saved costs. We only have two sockets there, but with speaker and network stuff etc., there are two rows with a total of 12 socket holes....

My plan for the TV corner currently looks as follows:
2 5-gang frames stacked:

A proper power strip will go into the lowboard.
The TV will be hung up and will also get a separate socket. Switchable.

Yep, that's kind of how it is with us, although all the sockets there are switchable (at least I think so ).

but please no power outlet orgies where a lowboard or something similar will be placed anyway.

Well, I disagree, especially since you can hide all that stuff behind the lowboard... we have 13 outlets in a row and you can't see them because they are behind the lowboard.

It was not about the invisible appearance for me, but about the pointless investment in the sockets. When you build with a construction company, something like that really costs a lot of money. Despite the [EL], I saved it because I am building a strip in the [LB].

I am happy to continue hearing arguments for and against.

Currently, I would say the cost for 8-10 sockets, some of which are switchable, is too high. Especially since I would then end up with 14-16 outlets... That already looks extreme.

So my 13 cans are full... and we built with a proper house construction company... but with a fair electrician...

On the other hand, I generally avoided any moldings... because if I already have the free choice, then I build it so that I don't need any moldings anymore... there is simply a socket everywhere you would need power...
