Suggestions on AV setup

[scorpious]

Hello all,

I need your guidance on the home theater setup i would like to have.

I currently have a pair of b&w 803 speakers, a preamp (no hdmi) & amp. I plan to use these B&W fronts with a sonos arc ultra, a pair of SVS sub, and a pair of sonos(not sure which) for rears. I would like to use a wireless speaker setup with the B&Ws

The living room is 30x23 ceilings are 24. Glass wall on one side, open on the other 2 sides to the rest of the house. So not much wall space. Few power outlets on the floor to connect rear speakers and subs.

My family and I usually watch movies through the inbuilt apps on the TV sony A95L(yet to arrive) upgrading from an old pioneer 500M. So all of the audio source will be from the TV. How can I setup such that I can setup a surround sound system with Dolby atmos?

Thank you

Ashish

I'd personally hire a custom installer if you're looking for ATMOS in that large of a room and even going with the bed layer surround, wireless is still sketchy. How far from the display do you sit and what country are you in?

Hello from Mukilteo, WA!!.

I could skip atmos, if it's going to complicate the setup. But a multi channel surround is something at least i would like to incorporate without solely having to rely on the soundbar. The new 77in TV is temp, until i can get a bigger one. We usually sit 15ft from the current 50in. Yes wireless is still making it's way around, but it something i can make do without having to make holes in the floors.

I'd focus on the front three channels to start and go from there. A custom installer will probably see the best options for surround sound, including height channels that you may not. You have a very large space and capable LCR and subs will be the most beneficial to your experience, especially given the room information you have provided.

Often times installers have preferred brands they like to install—some of these options are good options and others have custom DIY like speakers that have marginal performance. You can come back here after you get a quote to see how his recommended options sit with this forum.
