Home Theater Help... Feeling Overwhelmed!

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
I am in the process of building a 7.1 home theater using in-wall speakers and need some advice. The room is only 12'5"(w) x 15'5"(l) and the back of the room is open to the game room. The current plan is designed to include a typical L,R,C in-wall layout around a mounted plasma with 2 Rear in-wall surrounds and 2 Rear in-ceiling surrounds.

After reading about many products I have it narrowed down to either the Boston Acoustics VRi-Series, PSB CW-Series, Klipsch R-Series or the Polk LCi-RTS Series. I can’t find any dealers in my area that offer me the opportunity to hear them and need some selection advice. Also, should I even consider an in-wall subwoofer?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

All of those are good speaker manufacturers, so I don't think you'd really be going wrong with any of them.

Regarding the possibility of an in-wall sub, I would personally advise against it in 99% of cases. Having a sub in-wall is going to limit the enclosure size of the sub and will, in most cases, increase sound transmission into the other parts of the house. If you've got the money and want to "hide" the sub, I would suggest picking up a nice end table from SVS

IMO you will get better performance from using Speakercraft AIM in-walls and in-ceilings.

With the AIM series you can pivot not just the tweeter. But both tweeter, and driver to the listening area. This will give you better imaging, and create the effect that the sound is coming from the screen.

Speakercraft

Look for audio boutique stores in your area to demo. Also sold at your local Best Buy Magnolia store.
