Hi All-
I am moving houses and leaving behind all current equipment as part of the home sale. I currently have an "open" theater with Infinity Primus 363 up front with matching Infinity Center and 4 surrounds. I have a Panasonic 4000 projector, Denon 3311 amp and 117" Stewart Firehawk screen. I am already leaning towards Fusion Tribute or Escapes for the seats. This is my chance to update! From the sticky above, here is the info on the new theater:
1) Your budget.
No set dollar amount...10k for speakers, screen, receiver. I am willing to pay for great sound, but I know you can spend 1,000's extra on fractional improvements...I'd like to stop short of this!
2) Your listening interests: movies/gaming/music--and whether or not any of those are your primary concern.
Movies, TV and some gaming. Mostly interested in creating surround for Movies though.
3) Your existing audio equipment (make/models) if any. Include comments about what you hope to improve upon.
Infinity Primus 363 towers (2), matching Infinity Center (1), 10" Infinity sub, Infinity bookshelves(4) (much older- Betas?). I would like to keep the 7.1 and possibly consider Atmos/DTSx when it comes out ( I don't know much about this, but I think I need it!)
4) The size of your room. Please also mention if there are adjacent open areas and how big they are (important for subwoofer choice).
17' wide x 20' long. 6 chairs on a back riser (riser is 7' deep), 4 chairs in front of that
5) Any placement restrictions.
Pre-wired for 7.1, but should be able to adjust. This is a closed theater, so no restrictions.
6) Any aesthetic or size concerns.
No
7) Any equipment you are already considering (or would not consider).
Bose! Just kidding. Still unclear what type of "surrounds" to consider- monpole or bipole?
8) Any particular audio sonic signatures you know you prefer (e.g., you are a basshead, you have a preference for bright treble, etc.)
No
Thanks in advance for all the input...I've spent hours reading threads and have made no progress! Any thoughts on screen an receiver appreciated as well.
