First let me say all this is very new to me.
I am trying to put together a 5.1 system for home theater use.
Please realize that I am not looking to spend a fortune and have limitations as far as space and decor. The room is 20 x 14 and I HAVE TO put the rear speakers in the ceiling. Aperion Intimus 6-IC's were suggested for the rears.
SVS SBS/SCS for the front and SVS PB10 sub. I could not find the dimensions for the SVS's but I have a 6" height limit for the center due to location. I was also looking at Definitive tech or Mirage products.
For the a/v receiver I was considering the Yamaha 765 or Denon 1910.
Any suggestions or comments would be welcome I need to make a choice very quick due to a construction time line.
Thank you
You can get by for cheaper than you imagine on the speakers. Get 2 pairs of the Behringer B2030P for the main L and R and use one for the center as well(it's okay to place it sideways). Use good quality subwoofers, one on each side of the room, crossed at 80-90hz, setting main speakers and center to SMALL on the receiver menu. These speakers objectively, and in build quality, exceed most speakers you will pay 5x more to purchase. The saved money also lets you go the twin sub route, which will increase over LF sound quality in the room and give more dynamic capability. As a baseline for high quality subs, at least look at SVS or HSU subs. BTW, you an also use a pair of B2030P speakers for the ceiling mount speakers. The drivers are mounted on a single baffle plate that screws into the cabinet. You can simply remove this from the cabinet, and the crosover board as well, and install this directly into a wall or ceiling if you so desire. Stuff some thick insulation into the ceiling/wall to absorb acoustic reflections, of course.
