All ye wise men - help a young bloke out?
I'm a bit of an audio greenhorn and I'm rather overwhelmed by my options. I've got a 100" projector/screen that I'm looking to marry some audio to but my wife is only half sold on the whole idea and has set a budget. I was considering buying the Definitive Technology ProCinema 600 package (PM600x4,PC600,PS600) because it fit easily in my price range and would leave room for a decent receiver with the bells and whistles but I'm a bit underwhelmed with the sub and concerned about it filling my big room.
Then I saw the PM800's and started matching it up with the PC1000 but I read you should pass the speaker cables through the sub's output for best performance???? Since when did that catch on.... If I get a different brand sub would I still want to do that?
I've got a 15'x20' room with a 9' ceiling. I haven't picked out a receiver but I've got to stay UNDER $1,000 on the 5.1 speakers. I can't do towers - the speakers have got to be wall mounted.
I like the sound of the DT brand but am open to anything that can wall mount and is under $1,000 as a whole 5.1. If I can get speaker's+receiver for $1,200 the wife will even give me bonus points.
The receiver is a bit complicated with the video implications but I'm all ears there too.
So, 5.1 speaker recommendations
Thanks in advance - you guys are awesom!
