I need a good budget minded 5.1 speaker setup for a newly built addition 18x20 room with a vaulted ceiling (11' peak, ~3000 cu ft total volume) keeping in mind that this is not the planned home theater room, so not looking to spend more than $1k on speakers. I realize this is not enough to fill the room with reference sound, but I want to save the good stuff for the home theater room. The front LR and surrounds will be wall mounted; speaker wire is already in the wall. Thus, size is a concern. The room will be used for TV/movie viewing and audio at (usually) family friendly volume levels. The home theater room itself will be directly below this room, so acoustic insulation/isolation will be in order to separate the 2 spaces. I'm not yet shopping for that room.
From reading many threads here, I think I've narrowed it a bit:
Also searching for a budget receiver to pair with above speaker setup + separate outside zone with 2 Klipsch KHO-7 via this thread:
