Construction is starting on my finished basement area and I have a good idea what I want to do media wise and wanted to look for some input from others. I'm doing a 5.1.4 or 5.2.4 setup in a space that is 26' x 22' with 9 foot ceilings with ALL IN-WALL and IN-CEILING speakers. Subwoofer(s) will not be in-wall, just standard. I attached a layout of the space and what I'm thinking in terms of speaker layout. I have duct work running across the room where I wouldn't be able to put any in-ceiling speakers.
Display will be a XBR85X900F.
Usage is general tv and of course, movies. No gaming.
Budget for Audio equipment: Somewhere in the $5,000-$7,000 range.
Questions:
1. Would the rear surrounds be better on the side wall locations or on the back wall of the room? I'm slightly limited by an in-wall fish tank on the one side. May be able to go under the tank but that would leave the speaker only about 36" high.
2. For a room this size, should I really only consider a 2 sub setup or start with 1 and see how it does? And if 2, both in front or one on front and one on the back wall?
3. AVR - I keep coming back to the Denon AVRX4400H. It seems to be a lot of bang for the buck. Recommendations?
4. Speakers - I want to go with a back box style because I think this will sound better and also prevent some sound travel elsewhere in the house. I've been looking at Monitor Audio's Controlled Performance line. Recommendations?
