And here it is............
After many negotiations with my wife and loads of empathy (from her side), I managed to finish my 7.1.4 ht setup in our living room. The living room is a fully functional living room and thus, some compromises had to be made.
Over the past 6 years I bought and sold many different speakers, amps, bdp and etc. I was a proud owner of several speakers like Kef Reference 1.2, Kef XQ5, MA Silver 8, B&W 683, Kef iQ3, B&W 685, Sunfire Signature True sub, B&W PV1, Quake 100 and some more....
My last buy is the atmos enabled speakers from Pioneer S-Series and I can definitely say that these are the best speakers I had to date. I started a new thread in these forums about them and although it took me over a month to find the best position, today I can have atmos in my living room without ceiling speakers. And yes! It works
The surround speakers are full range and come from MA (Bronze FX). Great speakers indeed that complete the 7.1.4 setup.
The sub is an XTZ 1x12 and it is absolutely amazing. Although the Sunfire that I used to have was probably one of the best subs out there but, the fact that it died left me without a choice and I had to buy a new one. Budget was limited so, had to go for the best value for money and XTZ was the one! And yes it performs above its price tag. Way above actually. As many say: you don't hear - you feel the low frequencies.
All these speakers are driven by the amazing Denon 7200W. The best amp I ever owned and again I had a few in the past - Pioneer LX71, Pioneer LX 81, Anthem MX500, Onkyo 818.
Although the Pioneers are 4ohm, Denon drives them effortlessly and the sound stage is absolutely stunning. Both in music and movies.
The surrounds are driven by a 80w Rotel, that I bought in a very good price from eBay. Rotel RB 850.
The bdp is a Pioneer 450 and it is very good indeed.
The full HD image comes from a JVC X30, fully calibrated from Gordon shooting on a 106" Grandview motorised screen.
Next big step? To get a Lumagen and a React 2.1 screen. But, a bit later - probably next year.
Wife and daughters love to watch their favourite movies on the big screen, with pop corn!
