[Newbie Setup Questions]

Hello everyone,

 

I am interested in setting up a HT, and I need some recommendations.  So far, I haven't purchased anything - I am starting completely from scratch.  I've attached a poorly-drawn mock-up of the room for reference.  The proposed space is a small room (approximately 12.6' x 13.6' x 8').  I will be using this room for listening to music as well as watching movies.  The TV I have is a 46" Samsung, but it is not 4K and I really don't plan on upgrading it right now. 

 

I am considering the thought of an Atmos system with in-ceiling speakers, and I am thinking that a 5.1.4 would be plenty for this room.  My budget is about $3-4K for everything.  I haven't decided if I am going to purchase everything at once, or start small and add to it. 

 

I reached out to a local shop for some advice and here's what was provided to me:

 

Klipsch RF7II cherry (he can give me a pair for $1299)

Klipsch RP250C

Klipsch R14S (pair)

Sony STRZA1100ES

 

What do you guys think of this as a starting point?  Should I look at other options?  I realize that there is no mention of a sub.  I am considering either the BIC America F12 12-Inch 475-Watt Front Firing Powered Subwoofer or the Klipsch R-115SW Subwoofer.  It's a huge difference I know, and it's blowing my budget out of the water as well.  

 

Also, after searching around, I was thinking about going with another receiver: Denon AVRX4200, but I read a post that said that if I choose to do a 5.1.4 setup, I would have to sacrifice the rear surround speakers and also purchase a 2-channel amp to run the ceiling Atmos speakers.

 

Any thoughts or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
