I am a total Newbie moving into my new town home early next year. Doing the research now to see if I should buy something during this thanksgiving. If anyone can chime in that would be great.
Family Room: Rectangle of 23' by 15'. Posting the picture of the room as well.
- Front TV wall of 15' wide, pretty standard. Seating will be 10' away Appx. ( A small break fast table might go at the end)
- Left Wall facing TV. Not much of a wall there. Open floor into Kitchen. First 4-5 ft slants up into the staircase. Last 3 ft is a partition wall behind the Kitchen.
- Right Wall facing TV. First 3ft is a wall and so of last 3 ft. Rest mid area are french doors into Patio.
- Rear wall another 10-12ft Appx away from the couch (23 Minus 10 and the width of couch)).
Budget no more than $3000 Grand total for Audio.
Too many options for a beginner are overwhelming me but I narrowed it down to mostly two:
1) Nakamich 9.2 . Will I really get the whole Surround experience, even If I figure out where the rear speakers go?
2) Receiver (Sony STR-DN1080\Denon AVR-S740H) plus 5 Speakers( Klipsh/KEF). Is this way better than option one experience wise? Should the rear surround speakers go into Ceiling just behind the couch or can they go all the way back toward the rear wall 10 ft away?
3) Any 3rd Option that you guys would do differently?
-Thanks for hearing me out and Regards
