Hi!
First off - I'm new here so want to say hi! I look forward to participating in the forums as I am a big music and movie fan. The time has come when the "we'll do home theater when we finish the basement" is actually here. It has finally arrived,
The basement is quite large at 1200 sq ft. The movie viewing area is 13' from tv to viewer and 9' wide. Behind the listener is a half wall behind the sofa. To the left and right it is open to other areas of the basement.
I was thinking Marantz sr6006 as the receiver because I require phono in. Most receivers I was looking at that are cheaper would require a separate phono pre, which makes it close enough to the price for me to choose the Marantz.
The Marantz also has the mic and software to auto configure and I prefer this as I am not great at setting this stuff up,
The speakers must be bookshelf and total budget with receiver is around $2,300. I am hoping to get a bang for buck setup if possible and would consider another receiver if you guys think it's the way to go. Right now we're using the speakers in our LED so I'm guessing any setup is going to make a huge difference.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
