Hey Guys, need some setup advice. I purchased a Denon x5200 and want to try and turn my current setup into an atmos setup. Right now I run a 5.1 setup, and my (2) surrounds are in the ceiling. I'm hoping to pull those out to fish another speaker wire and run actual surrounds to the corners. Then the (2) overhead will be my Atmos speakers in a 5.1.2 setup. I've attached a photo of my room for reference. You'll see my sectional and recliner are in the corners. The surrounds in the corners at ear level I'm guessing may not be ideal, but it's what's recommended. What do you think I should do? Is all this worth the hassle?
I have a pair of super zeros I can use in the corners, but even those could be big so close to the seating. My other option is some energy micros I have. Thoughts?
Also, I want to run some speaker wire to the outside. My electrician friend suggested just running 1 wire and then daisy chaining the 2 outdoor speakers. I didn't think that was right, but then got the feeling he thought I was the crazy one for thinking otherwise, and maybe I am. So thoughts on that too would be appreciated. If I'm running (2) outdoor speakers, should I run (2) wires, one for each speaker?
As always, thanks for the help
