New Home Theater Setup

[sathishv]

I don't remember if you said what receiver you have or what reciever your looking at

Denon AVR-X3700H

9.2-channel home theater receiver with Wi-Fi®, Bluetooth®, Apple AirPlay® 2, and Amazon Alexa compatibility

Model 2220

Mono? Mini? Micro? Magnificent? Whatever that M is, this is one UNREAL little single-channel amp. 200 Watts (conservatively!) into a 3-inch chassis with balanced input stage to offer Common Mode Rejection! MANUAL See Front Panel Huge See Rear Panel Huge

@mazersteven So is this the best (cheapest) way to achieve 11.2 configuration? Is the usual recommendation to use external amplifier for rear atmos speakers? I am looking to find the cheapest way to achieve this. Please suggest.

You use external amp for your main left and right speaker and then let your receiver run all the other speakers

Thank you! Is there any recommended 2 channel amplifier. The above one seems to be for one channel so i will need 2 amplifiers in that case.

Buy 2. You get a price break on 2

 

[mazersteven]

I recommended the Outlaw amps based on you purchasing SVS or Paradigm towers (dont understand why your not). But for the SVS bookshelfs this is all you'll need

@mazersteven yes i saw this one but i am constrained by budget with lot of other things involved in finishing up basement I will be going with the above 2 channel suggestion for now and may be look for some good upgrades later.

Did any of you used below lights for accent lighting in home theater?

6 in. Retrofit Integrated LED Recessed Light Trim w/ Night Light 670 Lumens Adjustable CCT Kitchen Lighting (8-Pack)

I was initially looking for installing sconce lights but these were suggested by my electrician as this will save money by have one set of lights do both full lighting + accent lighting. I am not sure if these lights in night light mode will have any impact on projector. Really appreciate any suggestions.

Well I gotta say they look pretty sweet. Between my kitchen and LR, I have 24 can lights and these just got moved to my shopping list. I love accent lighting and often use it as opposed to the normal lights. Imo, those would be very nice. All of ours are trimmed with stainless rings so not sure how I’ll do that.
But if you have none in place now, I would definitely put those high on the list.

Thanks @mazersteven and @William Lemmerhirt I am doing this room as new so i am going for these. Just to be safe i am keeping the front 2 lights which will be kind of close to projector screen on a diff switch so i can keep them off if they are bright and annoying. Once all of the work is complete i will give my feedback based on how it is

On a different note i bought one SVS PB-2000 (Not the PRO) at a local auction but later figured that they are not available any more to add another If i want to add another sub, will it be okay to add a PB-2000 Pro?
Is there any recommended good 4k projector <~2000$ ?

Can’t really comment on the projector. Sorry...
For the PC’s, they are different from one another. But if you can take time and place them, I think you’ll be ok running them together.

Thank you!

Can we use car grade amp to run the 2main center? Also do you get better quality from those prebuilt speaker or you can get better by building you main LCR? Im in kind off in the same place as the OP and im planning my atmos as well. I have a denom x6400L and pretty much dame size room as OP, currently running definitive pro1000 monitors with 2000 center but I think on upgrading to the recommended speakers for OP (SVS ultra, svs pb-2000, and svs prime elevation (2 and 2 more down the road), Could I get better performance by building mains and subs? Or is it better to get the svs?
