Just remember when you are talking about surround speakers they should be placed as sides not rears in a 5.1 setup.

That's an ideal situation, but some rooms may not allow for this.

 

Yea unfortunately that wont work for me the way my room is currently. I drew a crappy not exactly to scale pic, but anywhere with a purple line there is no wall there (ie window, door, or half a wall with a wrought iron railing going upstairs.)

What's your opposition to bookshelves?  I've compared my RB-81s to my RF-7II's and found that the 81's hang pretty well at moderate volumes.  

 

I think the Denon you're looking at would be just fine.  I like my 6300, but honestly think that my older Pioneer SC-1323 sounds cleaner to me.  The Denon runs much hotter than my Pioneer also so i had to buy a separate fan since it is inside of a cabinet.  

 

FWIW, the order i purchased my gear was:

1. Main speakers (2 channel)
2. Subwoofer
3. Center Channel
4. Surrounds
5. Atmos

 

 

 

 

Didnt really have a piece of furniture to set them on. Just figured the floor standing would be easier for my current room setup

Accessories 4less has the Marantz 7011 for 1050. You can always contact an online dealer like @MetropolisLakeOutfitters, they might have a price close to that. I bought an svs sub from him and can not recommend him enoug and he is an authorized dealer.
