Hello everyone! after doing some more research on receivers. I ended up going with the Onkyo TX-NR696. So for the experience has been great. Much better than the TSR-700 Yamaha I was having issues with. I just felt the price was right for what it had to offer.

Here is my current setup. It is temporary until our house is built. Apartment overkill. LOL

LG OLED B8 65
Onkyo TX-NR696
Def Tech 8060ST
Def Tech 8060CS
Def Tech 8080SR (Not hooked up)
Panamax 5300
AudioQuest cables:
Rocket 44's
Cinnamon and Chocolate HDMI's
Irish Red and Black Lab sub cables

Thoughts and Suggestions?

Return the Fraudioquest stuff and put the savings over more reasonable connectors towards something actually useful.....

What other connectors do you have in mind?

Monoprice is fine, as are many other reasonable vendors/brand like Blue Jeans Cable, or various choices on Amazon. Its fairly easy to find competent wire/cable. Make your own perhaps (especially speaker cable, such a simple thing). Maybe look thru these articles https://www.audioholics.com/audio-video-cables

Generally we're not into the cable nonsense like Fraudioquest sells (or Nordost or MIT or Tara or Synergistic Research, etc).

ps Another good site for everything speaker wire http://roger-russell.com/wire/wire.htm

Hahaha, how far are you thinking?

I would try positioning them halfway in between the boundary wall and your center console

So would say about a foot out and toe-in a bit? Because I can only go so far with the left speaker.
