Proper speakers etc

[1tribeca]

I'm moving into a house and using the wee den as my "entertainment room" It's about 16' x 8' (I know, it's small...stop laughing, I work in radio!)

I'm eventually gonna steal...er...purchase a new TV. I also desperately need a new receiver (using a Yamaha RX-V1080) I also plan to use my Boston Acoustics VR975s for the fronts.

I can use the sub out option on the 975s, so I think I can skip a subwoofer...but I'm still seeking advice on 1) a centre channel 2) surround units.

The hitch is, I have to mount the surrounds on the back wall, not on the sides cuz of a sliding patio door!

Any advice...do's/don'ts.

Many Thanks!

I could see you having problems with your receiver if it doesn't exist, did a search and found nothing on it.

Geez, that's rough, Seth! So maybe he 1) typed the model # wrong or 2) it was produced for a retailer- when a big company does a run for a certain dept store you don't always find it by searching.

I wasn't being harsh, just poking. I will add a smiley to make it the way I intended it.

Sorry for any mis-understanding.

I came up with no results in search, and also no results on Orion, which should include all HTIABs, but I don't recall any RX-V that was part of a HTIAB.

I'm gapped...

DOH!! Seth is correct. It's an RX-V 1070, not 1080 (been doing too much reading about TV resolution. Sorry.

I dono, small can be good:

good equpment for small room: $

good equpment for large room: $$$$$

The center should probably be kept in the Boston family. You might try no center first in that room. What's the budget look like?

 

[1tribeca]

Not sure...budget will be dictated by the equip. I think! I'd like to find a VR920 centre. The rears I have no clue...stick with Boston maybe?
