I have read a ton of posts here, and would be fine if you just directed me if this has already been asked and answered. Let me describe my setup and then ask for advice...
Turning my bonus room over my garage into a home entertainment space. So far I have purchased:
Onkyo 607 Receiver
Panasonic AX200u Projector
Accuscreens 108inch CineGray Acoutically transparent screen
Playstation 3 for gaming/Blu-Ray
Harmony 890 Universal Remote
My room is basically a square, it is 16.5 x 17. Seating will be around 14 ft from screen.
I'm down to buying speakers. I have tried to research and buy the best of the middle of the road equipment for the room...don't need the best stuff ever, just enough to impress my wife.
I have looked at tons of speakers, but more than anything else, i have read that speakers are subjective. So,I have come down to the Polk 6750's that are CHEAP on amazon (i know they are discontinued, so that's why they are cheap) and the Energy Take Classic 5.1 system. Ideally, i want to pay as little as possible for a worthwhile sound experience (i know, subjective). Both of these sets have great reviews, but i'm open to other ideas. Any thoughts on anything i've mentioned and/or ideas about what to do speakers wise? I am planning on flush mounting the front 3 speakers in the wall behind the screen, and the rear speakers will be on brackets/shelves.
I can spend up to $500 on speakers and sub at this time, without feeling like a jerk.
I await your wisdom. Thanks so much! Love the forum!
