Audio system in my house (ATMOS)

Dears

I want to create 3 audio areas in my home

area No.1 (main area) 5.1.4 speakers, and I want to use the speakers to listen to Music (party) and movies, this is my living room.
area No.2 have 4 speakers, to listen to music only and to have party too, its is my saloon and its very near to my living room.
area No.3 have 1 speaker (stereo) to listen to music only, which is my bathroom.

So what do you recommend to use as a devices like one AV receiver (DENON X7200WA, Yamaha RX-A3050, etc...) or use separate devices, please I need to know what should I buy, and I don't want to pay a lot for such setting (maybe 3500USD is ok), also I need your advice what is the speakers I need to buy for area No.1

Many thanks

Hi!

Either receiver you listed will work great!

As for speakers, tell us more about your room. That matters most!

Realize that you may be better off just starting with a 5.1, and leave the Atmos for later... you may realize you don't even want/need it!

You need to do some serious thinking about this. The Denon has 9 amplified channels, the Yamaha has 11.

You want 9 channels in one room, 4 in another and 1 in another. No matter which AVR you get, you will need separate amps for rooms #2 & #3.
In other words, Room #1 can use the amps in the AVR. Your other 2 rooms will have to use the preouts on your AVR, (non-amplified signals), and separate amps.

Thanks for your replies
my living room space is 4X6.7 meters, I am planning to put the T.v. on the 6.7 meter wall, so I will be 4 meter far from it, and below is the wall that I will put the T.V and the wall unit in, and a quick scetch I draw it now, anyway if I will have in the living room a 5.1.2 instead of 5.1.4, then I will need only one extra amp to run the 4 speakers in the saloon (room # 2) what is the recommended amp for running 4 Ch speaker (stereo).

Thanks again

I'm still not sure you understand. The subwoofer output(s) do NOT count as amplified channels. They are unamplified preouts.

So a 5.1.2 uses 7 amplified channels, (5 + 2). Those 7 channels along with 4 for your other room(s) combine for a total of 11, (7 + 4).

The Yamaha has 11 amplified channels. You should investigate the configurability of the Yamaha. Can it be configured for 7 channels in 5.1.2, AND Zone 2 for 4 channels in your saloon? I don't know. I would guess yes. Maybe someone more familiar w/ the Yamaha can answer, or maybe you can find it in the manual.

Dear Herbu

Thanks again for helping me, well what you have said is right, I think the Yamaha will give me more options to use more speakers in the same amplifier, now I took a deep look to the manual of the Yamaha, and they said that I can operate 7 speakers in the main zone, and extra four speakers in two other zones (that means two speakers in each zone) well I am afraid there will be no option (they didn't mention such a choice) to work the extra four speakers in one other zone, so...... anyway I have to buy an external amplifier for the other zone, so I prefer to stay on the safe side and buy a four channel amp.
so I need your expert advise, which brand is a good brand for an extra amplifier? and yet I didn't buy any speaker for the main zone, so which speakers do you recommend for me in the main zone?

Thanks

area No.2 have 4 speakers, to listen to music only and to have party too, its is my saloon and its very near to my living room.
Don't fully understand this room. Is it in your house?
Will you be using this room at the same time as the main room? Perhaps a separate setup in that room may be better?

Yes its in the same house, actually there is a big sliding door between the living room (main zone) and the saloon (Zone 2) , so if I will open this sliding door then it will be a one area, and yes I will use some times both areas to make a party, that's why I prefer to be connected to the same A/V receiver, coz sometimes I will use all the speakers in the main zone (music) and in the saloon (4 speakers with the same music), and that's why I need an extra amplifier instead of new system for the saloon.

which brand is a good brand for an extra amplifier? and... which speakers do you recommend for me in the main zone?

OK. I'll just make a comment, then it's time for me to bow out and let people w/ more experience than me take over.

I have seen amps w/ 1, 2, 3 and 5 channels. I haven't seen one w/ 4 channels. So you may be talking about getting 2 2-channel amps. Since it sounds like your 2nd room will not be used w/ high volume, you don't need a lot of power if you get reasonably sensitive speakers.

I found this at Emotiva... https://emotiva.com/products/amplifiers/fusion-flex
It's a 2-channel amp for $199. I don't know much about amps, but it looks like this one has a couple features others may not have in this price range. But it's only 50wpc. Depending on your speakers and usage, it will be enough.

Now I'll let the experts here chime in w/ their expertise on amps and speakers.
Good luck.
