I can't thank you all enough for all this information, which btw is answering my questions perfectly, and then some. All these years I never knew 5.1 didn't include Rears.?. @JohnRice what processor(s) are you running? I'm sure I've read it here before, but I forget.

Duly noted John, thanks. I did plan the placement to be directly overhead, as seen in the image of my setup in the original post, but I may very well have the wrong speakers to place in those spots. My "ceiling" though is open floor joists, not finished drywall, so I'm not sure how that will...

My budget is probably whatever my Profit Sharing Check will be at the end of the year, at least to start. I currently have an SVS PB-2000 subwoofer, and the only reason I would ever want another would be to make the room "Look" more symmetrical, the base sounds great to me. I have pretty new...

Thanks Pupp. I thought that question would have piqued some interest in people that REALLY know their stuff and love to write long posts really explaining all the nuts and bolts. The original post was in February, and I kind of got stuck on what my next purchase should be, not to mention I...

I've had them in and out a few times now, but still haven't really made a decision. I listen to very little music, and the music I do listen to is usually Amazon Prime HD through Bluetooth, so I'm sure the quality could be better. The phone app does have a setting though, that allows you to...

This is a rough layout of what I have. Right now I only have the two height speakers above the couch, not the other two. And The front wide speakers aren't there either. The scale of the speakers is probably in the ballpark also, but that's about it. Basement is finished except the ceiling...

If this has been answered I apologize, and please direct me to that answer. I know it's a Newbie question, but I've been trying to figure it out for weeks. HDMI will carry 32 audio channels, right? How many audio channels are on a typical Blu-Ray? Atmos Blu-Ray? DVD? Just 5.1, and the processor...

Only thing is that it doesn't power the Atmos speakers, so you'd have to buy an amp for those if you wanted to use them right away. Which would still be cheaper than the 1140 I think.

Sorry, was late to the party posting that last reply and missed a few steps. :rolleyes:

Josh, I look forward to seeing what John has to say about the MRX, because that looks really good to me too. I suppose if I had an unlimited budget this would be an easier decision, but if we're looking at a 7.1.2 setup with Atmos, could we not also look at the MRX 740 with a separate amplifier...

Sorry, told you it was stupid question. I swear I looked twice and didn't see the RCA subwoofer outputs on the AVM70, just saw the XLRs.

Sorry for the stupid question, but how would you connect an SVS PB 2000 Pro sub to an XLR output on the AVM70? Adapter cable?

I'm following this conversation closely because I'm in the same boat as Josh, although probably with a little lower budget. I have new front speakers (Klipsch RP-800F and RP-404C, and for better or worse that's what I'm staying with) and now I want to replace the Pioneer Elite with separates...

I bought the PB2000 Pro about a month and a half ago, and I still love playing with it! There's a song (I found it on Amazon Music) called "Beats 4 my van"; Wow, I guarantee it'll make you smile. Anyway, if you send them an email they'll send you a pair of foam plugs for the ports. You may...
