Hi everyone!
I am a long time lurker, reading and gaining all the info I can. This is just to make sure I have everything correct before I buy.
What I currently have is a Logitech Z-5500 setup which is ok but I want to add a TV to the mix and upgrade the sound quality. I would still like to be able to use the system with my laptop for music and maybe video out to the TV for dvd/blue ray. For the most part, my usage is 70% music and 30% movies.
My room is 10'x12'x10', with one door leading to a hall.
What I was thinking of getting is:
Receiver: Denon AVR-791
Speakers: SVS: 5.0 SBS -02 surround system
Sub: SVS: PC12-NSD sub
TV: Sony Bravia 46" (or something similar in size)
My plan is to have the laptop connect to the receiver with HDMI for video and toslink for audio. (My laptop doesn't send audio over HDMI for some reason).
Cable box to the receiver via HDMI.
Receiver to TV via HDMI.
Wire the speakers with 12 gauge in wall wire with banana plugs (already have the wire and plugs from a friend).
RCA to sub.
Speakers should be set to small and crossed over at about 60hz-100hz, depending on what sounds best.
Tune with Audyssey.
All the wires either I have or I will get from monoprice.com.
The TV is really the least of my worries. I am still using a 24" CRT that has blown speakers and the picture quality is complete crapola. ANYTHING made in the last 5 years is going to be an upgrade, my main concern is getting the audio part correct.
Is this setup ok, or is there something I should change?
Thanks,
Sam
