I am hoping that you guys would be able to help my with my home theatre needs.
I am building a new living room set up but am having a hard time knowing what to buy and given the current social distancing rules means that I can’t test many options. The living room will be used as our main living room and movie watching. I am not really interested in music capabilities of the speakers as it will be for 100% home theatre, mainly streaming content, 4K Blu-ray’s etc. The living room is around 11’ wide x 16’ long and the tv is centered on the 11’ wall. The main sitting position will be around 12’ from the 11’ wall and centered on the tv. I am building a new fireplace with a cubby below tv for the center speaker but have low ceilings which restricts the size of the center channel I can use. The amp I will be using for this will be the Denon AVR 3313. It’s my old amp from my other theatre room running 7 T101’s. I will be running all my HDMI’s to the TV and using ARC back to the amp. The center channel will be 41” from the floor and in the center just below the TV and the L & R will be 5’ either side of the center about 55” from the floor.
I am interested in a 3.0 set up but will add a sub later. The options I have are Q250C, R2C or the R200C for the center channel. I can’t really go to the 650c as it is just too tall where I need it to go.
The right and left speaker options are Q150, Q350 or the R100. I can’t really deviate from the options either as they are where my budget will allow. I don’t want cost to be a factor, but I do have the budget for any of these combinations and cannot go over. Also not sure if I can put pricing down but let’s just say these can be bought for the same price with the Q150 being half price of the other 2. With the 3313 being 7 channel but rated for 6 Ohm will I be able to run any of these speakers if I’m only using 3 channels and Volume of around 50db on my denon 3313?
The reason I need to make a decision is because I am framing the new fireplace wall, running all new electric, outlets, speaker terminals etc and building a mantel. I want to complete before the new furniture arrives in 3 weeks. I am by no means an audiophile I’m not going to understand what people mean when they say it sounds bright or flat. What I am looking for is the best to create a surround sound experience where I can hear a car go from speaker to speaker and pick out the little details in the background. I really appreciate any and all help. I have lost sleep researching this for a week so I can complete the living room to please the mrs. Thank you all for any input you can provide. I have attached a 3D mockup of the room.
