It is an odd-shaped room with a cathedral ceiling - acoustics are poor at best. Left wall is also all glass. Nothing about the room lends itself to a normal theater room. I was thinking perhaps a stand-mounted pair of surrounds on either side of the couch in front of the screen. Budget - still deciding, but considering around $1,000 for pair of surrounds. Was not sure how far that would get me. Can exceed that number within reason. I am still exploring options for preamp, amps and surround speakers. Just wanted to reach out to the forum and see what the suggestions might be.
