Hi all. I would appreciate some advice. I'm getting set up with a 7.1 theater room. The room is a large finished basement with hardwood floors and an area rug. Here is the equipment:
-Polk 6751 for the surround speakers (because they were white and economical)
-Polk Monitor 50 for L and R
-Onkyo SR606
I am trying to choose a center. Polk recommends the CS1 for the center. But I am looking at the Polk RM8 because it has less physical depth, and I would like it to be a little out of the way. This is for a projector, and the screen will be rolled up often. I would like the center to be less in the way when we are not in "theater mode." Is the RM8 just as good? Or would it mismatch?
My other question is whether or not it would be advisable to build an inset shelf for it; not necessarily sealing the thing up in the wall, but making a drywall box which would let it sit mostly in the wall, with some clearance around the sides. Is this possible, or stupid? This would work better with the RM8, which has about 3.5" depth.
Thanks very much for anyone's help!
