I am trying to decide on speakers. So far, I have 2 rooms I am furnishing. I would say I like great sound, but not a complete audiophile.
First, is what is noted as the Family room in the picture. I have 14 foot ceilings and as you can see, it is open to the hall, breakfast area and kitchen. The red arrows represent where I have pre-wired the house at about 8-9 feet high. The red boxes are where I was thinking of placing my sub or subs. Here is what I was thinking so far. I would say I would be using about 50/50 or maybe up to 70/30 movies/music. as the TV will be in the nook, it does not appear that I have a good place for a tower, thus planning bookshelves. I would say my budget is 2-3000 though I can spend more, but of course the lower would be better.
Receiver: Yamaha Aventage RX-A1040
Front: EMP tek R5Bi
Rear EMP tek R5Bi vs R55Wi
Center: EMP tek R56Ci
Sub: SVS PB-2000
Questions:
1. I am pretty set on the receiver as I prefer reliability and Yamaha seems to have great reliability based on reviews.
2. Will the EMP tek's which have gotten great reviews fill the room, if not the area with sound?
3. For the rears, which speaker should I go with?
4. Of course, I will have to test out the best sub placement once I get it. Will one be enough or would I need 2?
Second, is the Dining Room which I am using as an office. I was going to place speakers in the green arrows. it will most likely be 10/90 movies/music as it will be hooked up to my computer. Budget here would be 1500-2000.
I was planning on the RX V677 for the office
as far as speakers, I was thinking the Pioneer Andrew Jones 5.1 box set with bookshelves and no tower.
Thank you in advance for any advice. I am still pretty much open to anything.
