I am looking into upgrading from 5.1 HT/Music to 7.1 using separates. I plan to add:
-Anthem AVM-20 V2.09 pre/pro (used)
-Sherbourn 7/2100 (7x200 Watts) Amplifier (new)
My current HT/Music system is described at the end of this post.
I have a couple of nagging questions.
1) I think I need a dedicated 20 Amp circuit for the Sherbourn Amp, right?
2) My listening position is against the back wall. Though not ideal, is it okay to place my side speakers a little ahead of my listening position and place my rear surrounds wall-mounted almost directly overhead?
3) Any suggestions about which brand of rear surrounds would match my Pinnacle speakers. I am currently looking at Boston Acoustics Micro100X:
