Hi all!
First post here, so please be kind
Looking to upgrade from my antiquated 5.1 all-in-one HT to a..... well, a better one.
Quite fancy the denon 1911 - looks a little more futureproof, but still considering the 1910 too.
As far as speakers go, I'm still unsure of whether to go for a speaker package or go for separates (I assume "separates" constitutes creating your own setup from purchasing separate speakers)
I'm currently considering the Jamo's, the Boston XS and the Q Acoustics 2000 package (Wouldn't mind keeping the whole package under £1k, but if I'm talked into separates I can bide my time.)
Cant make my mind up and couldnt get a definitive answer for my solution so I decided to come to the masses for some help!
My tech knowledge on audio elecs isnt great at all, so by all means please dumbfound me into learning more
This setup will go with a Samsung le40a656 (to be upgraded to a panny G20) ps3, 360, wii and WDTV media player. Its going into a 12'x12' (roughly) room with nothing in it atm, so I'm free to wall mount speakers etc.
Also,
5.1 ---> 6/7.1 = is this a case of adding 1/2 surround speakers to an existing 5.1 and thats it? (provided the amp and media supports it) is a 6.1 an extra surround or an extra centre speaker at the back?
is there a detrimental effect to wall-mounting/shelving speakers rather than floor stands? would love to lose the stands but would rather keep the sound quality if need be.
Any help on my dilemma would be much appreciated!
Sorry for having absolutely no knowledge and many thanks in advance!
