We’ve moved and I need new speakers for my setup due to using in walls last time.

I have no storage in this room so I have to use a media console similar to a BDI corridor. I’ve crossed the WAF bridge For bookshelf’s due to the console and 2 SVS PB-2000 at the front stage.

Specs are as follows...
Room 14x17x10
AVR = pioneer VSX-1123

I’ll eventually upgrade the AVR for atmos but for now I’m sticking with her.

Planning on in walls for surrounds. Found some Sonance in ceilings for $150pair ws thinking about using those the surrounds (not ceiling).

Was thinking about the ELAC b6.2 or Wharfedale 225 or 11.2 and corresponding centers for fronts.

Also, I have 4 in ceiling prewired spots in basically the 4 corners of the room maybe 3 feet inward from walls. Will these be useful for atmos or 7.2?

Will my speaker findings work with my current AVR?

Also, MLP will be either right below or just in front of the rear prewired speakers. Can those be used for 7.2 Before I move to atmos?

Thanks everyone!

Don't know anything about in-walls or Atmos, but I like your options with those Elac's or Warfdale fronts and the SVS subs.

You might not have wanted another option, but I'll throw out a quick recommendation to look at the RBH r5Bi, from what I think is there impressions series? At this sort of price point I think they're special.

The four in ceilings should work OK for Atmos though not in the "ideal" location.

My rears aren't in the "ideal" location for 5.1 and it works just fine.

Use the Crutchfield speaker comparison tool to see which of your selections sound best to your ears.
