Don't have a budget just wanted to start a system. So I purchased these items as most newbies would without knowledge
If it turns out it's not that great with the gear I have. It Will make one hell of a garage radio.
LOL at least you have a healthy attitude for audio gear....it'll help down the line no doubt, upgrading doesn't always mean just getting rid of the last gear :) Lots of bullshit in audio. Your speakers aren't necessarily a bad choice, the RTiA line gets pretty good comments generally, just that for the cost/application sometimes you can use additional input/info to maximize your application/budget.
Correct..thats what I have. And have not hooked them up yet I have been shopping for the past 6 weeks. just picked up the RTiA7s on Saturday. Bought the receiver the week before.
Still need subs at at Atmos speakers. Then will hook it up see what I got.
Just in general and due to easier return policies vs warranty, good to hook up and confirm good working order before that initial time period expires. I've read too many times of people who wait and have an issue without easy resolution....

That’s a big ol space for subs. As HD mentioned, I think a couple 18’s would be in order. Or a pair of the dual 15’s. Gonna guess your budget is pretty decent. Agree with HD again. The usual ID suspects are where I’d start too. Actually here...

Thanks for the reply
That is a great idea. This is not an emergency event to buy audio for home. Find out first if what you were told is BS or not. Salsemen have a motive, $$$$. $$$$ is not our motive.

That's a very nice subwoofer. You maybe better off with 2 Subs, so consider the HSU VTF15 for about the same price also.

That's a very nice sub but likely you need multiple subs; EverettT's suggestion is a good one as well.
