Thanks for your responses guys! I ended up buying the Onkyo TX-NR838 today as I needed it urgently, will let you know how it goes. Many thanks again:)

Hi Again, I'm in 2 minds now whether to go 7.1 or just go with 5.1 I don't even think I'll go ATMOS now, might look at it another time. Does anyone know whether the Onkyo TX-NR 737 would be suitable to run this setup in 5.1 or 7.1 if I get the extra 2 speakers for the sides. Thanks guys

Mkenny28 that sounds like a wicked system you've got there!

Thank you for the welcome:) Oh I definitely have a sub, just trying to decide whether to have a second one after its setup. My biggest concern is, will the room be big enough for the side speakers?? I will def keep posted on the ATMOS setup.

I did wire 7.x.4 for that reason, so I've at least got the option to go either way. My room is 6 metres long by 4 metres wide. I've got a 5 seater lounge running across the back wall (4 metre wall) on a raised tier and a 4 seater lounge in front of it on the floor level. The front row would be about 3.5 metres back from the projector screen. Would a 7.x.4 work with these dimensions? Or should I stick with 7.x.2? Like you said with sound congestion I don't want to ruin it with overkill. I wanted to even make sure, is the room big enough to have the sides (7.x)? Thank you mate.

Hi Everyone, I'm building a new house with a dedicated theatre room, this is my first home theatre build so I really wouldn't have a clue so I'm flying blind I guess. I have just purchased a 5.1 RF-82 II package. It has the RS-52 II as the surround speakers, now I'm looking at adding a set of side speakers to take it to 7.1 The speakers I'm looking at for the sides are the Icon KS-14. I was hoping you guys maybe able to give me a bit of feedback on whether that's the right thing to do? I'm also looking at putting in ceiling speakers to utilise ATMOS, I've had the room wired up to take either 2 or 4. (7.1.2 or 7.1.4). To achieve this in looking at the Onkyo 1030 or 3030. Can you guys also suggest suitable speakers to use for this? I'm not sure whether they need to be something fantastic or not. Thanks guys and I look forward to your valuable feedback
