Hello everyone, one of my first posts here, great forum by the way. Over the last 6 months I have been looking through threads and other peoples builds to get some ideas and help, now that our house purchase has gone through and we are in, it's time to tackle my first ever (basic) build for our living room. Just need some general tips and help to make sure I am going down the right path. So my budget is around £2500 (not great I know) and I need to get myself a TV, 5.1 with amp and a couple of ceiling speakers for basic Atmos. I will pick myself up a 4K player as well at some point.
So I was thinking for the TV - Samsung QE65Q7FAM 65″ 4K Ultra HD HDR Smart QLED TV
- HD Tv, 4k Content, Ps4, will try HDR out.
5.1 and amp - Denon AVR-X2400H AV Receiver w/ Q Acoustics 3000 Speaker Package 5.1
Atmos (ceiling speakers) - Cambridge Audio MINX MIN12 (X2)
So my questions are,
- Is that pretty good for the money i.e could I do better?
- Will the speakers be OK for the size of the room or would I need more/less?
- Will I get a fairly good Atmos effect.
- Do I need to change anything at all in terms of layout?
The Plan is as follows, we are going to extend the existing chimney out by about 4 inches to hide the wires and to make sure the sit's flush. We are going to build a basic av rack into one of the cupboards to store the ps4 and amp etc, and get that ventilated with some fans.
I am open to any suggestions or help people are willing to give.
Thanks in advance.
My poor attempt at sketchup haha!
