Hey guys,
Putting together first man cave, so I'm pretty excited. Have a projector HT setup that needs some good surround sound. Also will be upgrading my receiver (5 year old Yamaha 7.1). Considering the Denon 3313ci but want to make sure that would be powerful enough for any speaker setup I run. I never used more than 5.1 but with the man cave finally ready for this type of devotion, I could consider going 7.1 or possibly 7.2+ so I want to have some options for that with whatever receiver I get.
As for speakers themselves, I have read a bit but there are so many options it is tough for me (relatively new) to narrow it down. Lots of big names and reputable companies make seemingly similar products, so maybe there is no "wrong" choice but I figured this was the place to go to get some help. I know budget is a big part of what helps determine; I'd say this is a work in progress that can be built on over the years, so I'd like quality speakers that I can use to replace my JBL older/smaller setup over time. My assumption would be to replace the front speakers first and then work my way back. I would probably not want to be spending too much more than $1000 on a pair of front speakers, but if there are some just beyond that then I could stretch the budget. As these are going to be built to last, I want to get speakers I can be content with. Maybe $1000 is embarrassingly low for a pair of solid front speakers? I don't know, but that's why I'm here!
For subwoofer, I have read some great things on the VTF-15H being a high value and high quality sub. I'd say that pricing ($879 last I checked online) is about my limit on a subwoofer alone.
I'd say 90% will be for movies/TV/gaming, 10% only for music. Thank you guys for any help you can provide!
