Hello, I have been looking at getting a nice set of speakers for my living room entertainment system. My budget is tighter so I have been looking at used setups. Currently there is a pair of DT 10B towers with a Mythos 3 Center Channel for sale that sound pretty good. It wouldn't be a surround system but the bipolar effect of the towers seems to help with that. Or, I found a used Martin Logan surround with Motion 4 fronts, Motion 2 rears, a Motion 8 center and a Dynamo 500 sub. All of that is a little more in cost but at least listening to it I feel like it gives great sound.
Any recommendations on what to look at or which would be better? Overall the room is used for TV/Movie watching but we do music for parties and dinner. Help deciding which way to go would be great. Was hoping to keep cost below a grand, but if there are other options people would recommend that I should consider, lets say under $1500 I would love to hear it.
My room is about 25'x25', has a cathedral ceiling that peaks at 11'.
I would love if I could get away with a really nice 3.1 setup, but was kind of figuring a 5.1 would be nice for the room. I don't really want atmos speakers in my ceiling for my living room. Will wait for my basement to get a theater on that one.
