First, amazing knowledge in this room, I appreciate it. I have a companion thread covering the build of my DSX 11.2 CIH theater, but wanted dedicated speaker guidance. I have an 8hx18wx24l room with a 158" screen excellence 2:35 AT screen and have listened to many speakers at all price points. Fell in love with Sonus Faber Veneres but not sure exactly what setup would be best. Leaning toward the Marantz AV8801, with TBD amps,
Should I:
-get 3 venere 3.0 LCR (concerned they only sell them in matched pairs) with 4 2.0 bookshelfs (wides and side surrounds) and 4 1.5 bookshelfs (heights and back surrounds) and wait on the 2 subs
- step down to venere 2.5 LCR and 1.5 for all other (saves $3k) and get dual sealed 15" subs (thinking SVS) right away
-get 2.0 or 1.5 bookshelfs for all 11 speakers (concerned about midrange soundstage as I seem sensitive to the gap between the sub)
-something different I haven't thought of?
Attached is the room diagram, thanks in advance to everyone!
