One of my cousin is unable to decide which setup he should get. He got 3 setups offered for his Basement 23x16x9(LxWxH)

1. Wisdom Audio + Paradigm Setup:
Wisdom Insight P6i x 3(Front LCR)
Paradigm CI Pro P1-LCR v2 x 4(Surrounds)
Paradigm CI Pro P65-R v2 x 4(Atmos)
Paradigm SFC12-SW + X500 x 2(Subwoofers)

2. KEF + SVS Setup:
KEF Ci5160RLM-THX x 3(Front LCR)
KEF Ci3160RLM-THX x 4(Surrounds)
KEF Ci200RR-THX x 4(Atmos)
SVS 3000 In-wall x 2(Subwoofers)

3. MoFi + KEF + HSU Setup:
MoFi Sourcepoint 10 x 3(Front LCR)
MoFi Sourcepoint 8 x 4(Surrounds)
KEF Ci200RR-THX x 4(Atmos)
HSU ULS-15 MK2 x 4(Subwoofers)

The usage is strictly for Movies. Which will be the Best. I am thinking it be MoFi for Dynamics and heavy hitting. Followed by KEF for its Clarity Detail. Followed by Wisdom Audio for its wide sound-stage.

What will be the best in your opinion.

The Hsu system will have the most powerful bass by a long shot. I do think the KEF THX in-walls are some of the few really good ones. My guess is that the Mofi stuff is decent too. I would probably go with the MoFi + Hsu sub system since that bass would be killer.

I assume they could switch things around - like KEF in-wall speakers + HSU in-room subs.

In general with all things being equal, I would prefer speakers and subs with bigger more dynamic drivers, instead of smaller drivers.

Okay yes I was thinking the same. And all three are stock recommendations so can switch stuff a bit but staying in same budget range. Like we cannot add more In-Wall SUBs as that will become expensive.

So KEF + HSU SUBs give us Best Result. Interesting. I did not think of that. But if going in-wall I think they would stick to in-wall SUBs too.

Same room as mentioned in the OP.

But seriously @shadyJ , @AcuDefTechGuy please can you give me Pros and Cons of Wisdom Audio speakers when compared to KEF and MoFi. I have first hand experience with KEF and MoFi but have no idea about Wisdom Audio speakers.

For example.

KEF :-
Pros:
High Detail
Clarity
Imaging
Wide Soundstage
Depth of Field
3D Envelopment
Cons:
Dynamics

MoFi :-
Pros:
Rich
Dynamics
Imaging
Wide Soundstage
Depth of Field
3D Envelopment
Cons:
High Detail
Clarity

Wisdom :-
Pros:
Widest Soundstage
That is all I know about Wisdom Audio. I got no idea about them.
