New to the forum...lots of great reads here.
I have a few questions. I just bought a new house that has rather large room (20'x20') completely wired for speakers already. The pre-wiring consists of 6 different posts with two in the front, two on either side about 12' from the wall where the components would be, and two in the back of the room 20' or so from the components. I currently have a Sony str 4400 receiver pushing a set of Bose 301's and set of Bose 201's and a Bose center channel speaker and a Yamaha Subwoofer. I'm not unhappy with the 301 or 201 but I want to go a little smaller and would like to use the setup the new house has by mounting speakers to the mounts and using the wire they have. I have read a few reviews and think that a pair of Pro Monitor 800 speakers would work nicely and since I have not been pleased with the performance of the center channel, I was thinking that I might replace that with my center channel with Pro center 1000.
After that I'm kind of lost. Should I get a second set Pro Monitor 800's and run all 4 as my fronts in an A+B setup or get a set of smaller speakers and use them as my surround speakers? I really don't want to have 7 channels since I would like to have my zone 2 setting connected to a pair of outdoor speakers for listening to satellite radio and such outdoors.
Thanks in advance
