- YAMAHA RX-V661 Receiver Question??

[samsungson]

I think I may piece it all together??

I want to keep my surround speakers.

My Center needs to be replaced. But with the TV being bigger I need to relocate it? My TV room is laid out for a Projector BUT I need to keep what I got now.


Otherwise, I wanted to do speaker towers but there is Zero room for them on the one side? I just cram shelf speakers under the TV like you can see. Those are the JVC's with subs in them. Subs are the center ones.

Looking at my room what would one suggest I do?


Here's some shots of my work in progress. I don't like the rug, the DVD holder, and much more in the room but it's next on my list after I get the Audio Video taken care of.

Does the TV have to be in the corner? From the pics it looks like you might have some room in the middle of that wall to the right. If you can put the TV in the middle wall then you can easily put towers on the side of the TV. Your front speakers and center have to match to get a good tonal match. If not movies will sound off when you hear the dialogue from the center and the sound effects from the two fronts. That is why it's best to get speakers all around from the same brand and model line. Just take your time and piece everything little by little. No need to blow all your money now for something you might not like. You have a really nice receiver that will power most speakers out there so work out your room layout first to see how you can accommodate what you want to have.

Thanks Man,

I totally know what you are talking about!!!

That's what was KILLING me last night.

Ya, looks like I am going to get rid of the to left and right you see in the picture and PUNEY center!!


Was looking on Craig's List and saw this:

What do you think of that? Old but great price if they are in good shape?





OH, and regards the TV room layout, I would LOVE to put the TV set up in the center of the wall (I'll get a picture of that area later) but the couches and seating is what becomes a Major Problem.
