Hi all, I'm about to press the go button on a new house with dedicated home theatre and need some help with the selection and setup. I've been researching and reading up on a few forums but there is just so much information and different choices out there its all too easy to be lost. I'd appreciate some help with the following: Klipsch seem to be on a product release rampage and have a heap of new stuff. I'm not sure what I should be looking for. I'm not sure if there are any retailers near me that have them on demo. Buying speakers without auditioning them first is akin to buying a pair of shoes without trying them on. Hence I'm relying on the wider community to help with the selection process. I'm after a 'general concensus' so I can get a 'feel' of what to expect. Room setup and equipment selection - speakers, subs, amps, pre-amps, placement, acoustic treatment... your thoughts appreciated on what you have used and what works better/best. Quick run down on the details: I'm building in Perth, Australia. So all dimensions in mm and costs factored around what can be provided locally. I'm open to suggestions for buying stuff overseas if its a good saving and risks are low. Room size is locked down. See attachment. Going for a 7.2.4 Atmos setup, though with DTS:X and Auro3D I'm not sure what to expect here. Ideally the front of the theatre would be transparent screen with speakers behind but I'm concerned with the speakers with rear firing sub ports. I'd probably also save a heap of money if I went for non transparent screen and speakers located in front. I've been a fan of Klipsch hence my interest in this forum. I also like Elac. I've heard a heap of other makes including Revel, Def Tech, Kef, Jamo, JBL, MA, B&W, MK in different setups. I have a 80% movies, 20% music listening split. I've been a fan of Denon amps. What is the most 'elegant' and simplest way to power everything? Budget is negotiable. I'd rather spend more on speakers and not change that as long as the quality is there. Same goes for power amps. Pre-amps/processors will upgrade over time. For a start lets say AU$15,000 for the audio component. Visual component (projector, screen etc) will be another budget. Any assistance appreciated. Regards, bloatedfish Ps. not sure if this is the correct topic forum. Should this go into Architectural?
