Hey Guys,
I find myself unable to decide which new receiver to get, a Denon x41000 or the older 4520. I can get them both new at the same price. So the reason I'm here is to discuss potential speaker setups, and maybe that then helps lead to a receiver choice.
I currently run a 5.1 setup. I have a pair of Pioneer FS52 towers and the matching center, all modded by Dennis Murphy. My surrounds are (2) HTD in ceiling 6.5" speakers. My subwoofer will be a Rythmik FV15hp, as soon as it arrives. My room is in the basement, and is a theater room of sorts. It's 15'x17', and I have a 130" projector screen. Sectional couch in one corner, recliner in the other.
Now, if I go with the Atmos receiver (x4100), I guess all I would need is some surrounds added to my rear walls. Any thoughts on a surround that is smaller in size and could be mounted on the wall? My couch and recliner are right in either back corner, so rear stands are out, they would need to go on the wall, and not be too large so that people sitting in the corners aren't having to watch themselves.
The other option is to go with the 4520, and try a 7.1 setup of some sort. And that's where I need some advice. I'm not sure with my current setup where I'd get the best use of (2) more speakers. Looking forward to some input on setup ideas, and even thoughts on a 7.1 setup vs an Atmos 5.1.2 setup
