Hello, I have been reading posts on this site for a few months regarding sound systems. My niece finally moved out and I am setting up a home theater - mostly for me because the room is small 13 x 10 with 8 foot ceilings - it is also kind of “echoey” but I plan to hang up some paintings and wall decorations to try to mitigate that. Right now it is two theater seats, a small entertainment center with my gaming consoles, and a television set. I am trying to create a 5.1 sound system which will be used for television/gaming 80% music 20%. The television will likely be a 75 inch Samsung QLED (separate budget).
From what I have been reading and what I have seen recommended in my price range, I plan on trying out the Pioneer SP-PK52FS speakers. As for the subwoofer, I wasn’t sure if a ten inch subwoofer would be enough or if ai should get a twelve inch. I have a pretty small house and the room is obviously small. I was thinking maybe a RSL 10S which seems to have gotten good reviews.
As for the receiver, I have seen a couple recommended. I am not really sure what features I need. I dont want to overspend on features I do not need, but at the same time I don’t want to have buyer’s remorse after saving $100. I was looking at the Denon AVRS740H it has 7.2 capability in the event we move and I get a bigger space.
Anyhow, just looking for some input since I am very ignorant regarding sound equipment. I have a low end Bose sound bar, so I think I have a pretty low bar to shoot for to get better sound. Appreciate any feedback on the components.
