Long time lurker first time poster so please go easy on me.
After 15 years outside of the home theatre world I'm about to embark on a home cinema build in a multi-purpose room with a retractable screen that will be the centre of the room.
I currently own a Denon 6700H Receiver (new purchase) which will power a 7.2.4 Atmos layout. I am using the receiver with a KEF 3000SE HT system from 2006 which I am happy with, however I'm aware that I'm likely living in ignorance and that despite the volume levels being the perfect fit, technology has likely moved forward with regards to definition and immersion.
I'm looking at in-wall LCR's and in-ceiling Atmos channels. Is it still feasible to use the KEF's for surround and rear surround duties or is it time to let go? I'd prefer to go with a fully discreet system but I don't think my budget will stretch just yet with projector, screen, cables and install having to be accounted for. The LCR's need to be replaced with in-walls, whilst the surrounds would have to be on-wall, rather than in-wall due to noise concerns.
What would be my best options for an upgrade path considering my setup already puts out more than enough volume. I likely have £4-£5k to play with and am not shy about the second hand market.
Recommendations for all speakers are more than welcomed
