Hi,
My room is a converted barn, 4.5m wide, 5.5m long and ceiling height 4.8m. The screen isn't against the back wall and there is another empty area behind it 2m long by 5m wide.
I have an older Sony BNV N7100 system at the moment which I want to upgrade. The sound isn't great and you can't EQ anything which means dialog is often muddy and unrecognisable.
So what I'm looking for is an AV system that is clear, does not echo or get lost in the big room. I'm really after quality over output volume and help on speaker placement.
I'm going for this amp:
I'm also considering mounting my centre speaker up high with the projector screen as the is no neat place for it below and at the moment I just pull it out the cupboard and place it on the floor when we watch.
Any help would be really appreciated as I'd like to get it right.

Marantz NR1711 Slim 7.2Ch 8K AV
It would be great to have some advice on speaker pairings. This is what I am considering at the moment:Q Acoustics 3030i AV Speaker Pack
Bowers & Wilkins MT-50 Home Theatre System
Cambridge Audio S225
Monitor Audio MASS 5.1
I would consider adding 2 more speakers to make it 7.1.I'm also considering mounting my centre speaker up high with the projector screen as the is no neat place for it below and at the moment I just pull it out the cupboard and place it on the floor when we watch.
