I will be building a home theatre room in the basement of a new house that is under construction. The room size is 11 X 22 X 8. My current system will be used initially, but plan on wiring for a future upgrade. I am not sure what the exact configuration will be, so I am wiring to support up to 9.4.6. The room will be used for movies 100% and will be light controlled.
Current system is a 65 inch TV with a 7.1 system
AVR: Denon X2300W
All speakers and sub are 19 years old.
Center JBL center not sure of the model.
Front Left and Right JBL S312 II.
The 4 surrounds are JBL N24 II.
Sub SVS.
My first upgrade will be to a 4k projector like the JVC DLA-NX5 or an ultra-short throw. I am thinking of wiring all speaker locations to both the front and back of the room so my AVR and input devices will be close to my display device. I will also run long HDMI from front to back just to have options.
After I have the projector added I will upgrade my AVR and speakers. I would like to upgrade to an 11.2 Denon AVR-X6700H or 13.2 AVR-X6700H, so I could have 7.1.4, 7.1.6 or 9.1.4.
I am unsure of what to do about speakers. I plan on using my current sub but am open to upgrading to one or a pair of new SVS subs if needed.
Is it better to use tower speakers as the front right and left vs using the same speaker as your surrounds?
For the atmos height speakers would the SVS prime elevation mounted high on a wall work as well as speakers mounted on the ceiling?
Option 1 use current speakers and get new speakers just for atmos height.
Option 2 Get new surround speakers like the SVS prime satellite or ultra-surround and use the N24 as the height mounted to the celling.
Option 3 All new SVS prime or ultra or similar system.
Thanks for any advice.
