I recently moved to a house that has a setup for a 7.1 system built into the room -- however, it only has Ls, Rs, Lb, and Rb included, as the previous owners took their front three speakers and subwoofer with them.
The specs for the speakers that are built into the room (on the ceiling) are as follows:
What do you recommend we purchase to account for the remaining 3 speakers and subwoofer(s), comparable in output to the Thiel speakers and within a modest budget? Do we need two subwoofers, or can we get by with one? The room is not especially large.
Ideally the budget would be around $500 total, but we also need to account for a device or devices that can take all the 7.1 inputs, as well as hdmi inputs which need to be routed to component for the theater's projector, which lacks HDMI. We were looking at this, though I found a better price ($380) for it locally.

Phase Response: Minimum ±10°
Sensitivity: 89 dB @ 2.8 V-1m
Impedance: 4 ohms (3 ohms minimum)
Recommended Power: 30-200 watts
