Drewski Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Hello All, I just moved to a new home and we have a large den area 18' L x 30' W x 7.5' H. This is a shared space so the home theater area will be something like 18' X 14'. The illustration has the TV area and a game table. I currently own a 5.1.4 setup of all Reference Premier. It hasn't let me down over the past 7 years. I'm thinking of repurposing my existing speakers and upgrade my front sound stage. I can also split items and move them to other parts of the house. 2 x RP-250F (L/R) 1 X RP-250C (C) 2 x RP-150M (RS) 4 x RP-140SA (Atmos) 1 x R-112SW (Sub) Looking at Crutchfield they have both the RP-8000F and RP-8000F II available. The first gen has a deep discount. Same goes for the RP-504C and RP-504C II. I would need to upgrade my AVR as well. I was looking at the Onkyo RZ-50. However, I'm open to other brands Denon, Marantz, etc. if it is worth it. A few questions: For a space this big would you stick with 5.1.4 or go to 7.1.4? Are the Gen II of the RP-8000 worth the extra amount? They are nearly double the cost. Should I save the money and upgrade the sub? Will this new front stage pair well with the rest of the setup. Will the RP-140SA do the job for Atmos, should I upgrade to in-ceilings or mount them as heights instead of up firing? Thanks!

wuzzzer Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 For starters I would upgrade to the 450/504 center and upgrade your sub. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
