Hello all,
let me start by saying that I'm not an audiophile that feels the need to upgrade my equipment as soon as a new flavor comes out. I do however appreciate a great theater exp. I have a decent setup currently I feel with my Plasma from years ago and manageable Onkyo sound and receiver. I've been pleased with them - esp my plasma; but I'm getting ready to upgrade and I plan on this being my set up for another decade. I bought an LG OLED CX 77". I'm not so up-to-date with the new tech and I'd like to be current for "today" as much as possible with my sound to match my TV.
My living room is open, with a vaulted ceiling on one side and my TV will almost sit directly under the area where the vault starts. so I'm not sure Atmos will be right as half the sound will be vaulted room. The other side is open to the dining room and then kitchen. The room is prob 20' TV to couch then 40' wide, however the TV will sit close to the middle of the 40'. Nice open room for entertaining, not so much home theater maybe. But from what I've read, Atmos up firing speakers prob aren't my best option, which is fine.
So I'm looking at these as my sound:
Marantz SR5012 7.2 Receiver
Klipsch 7.2 "package" which includes:
2x RP-8000F fronts; 1x RP--404C Center; 4x RP-500M surround; 2x SPL--120 Subs.
I want to make sure this will be current with bells and whistles while still being manageable price wise. Im ok to upgrade within reason, but i don't want a receiver that is twice the price or speakers that are twice the price. Those speakers are $3500. Klipsch has another 7.2 package that was like $8500, which is out of the question.
Will this get me done and still be top notch for me? I think I have eArc covered and 4k/120hz. is there anything else that would be strongly recommended? am i way off?
Thanks All!
