Hi all
So I have finally made the plunge and ordered a Denon 3700 with Q Accoustics 5.1 speakers, to replace my ageing (and often crashing) Lifestyle 28. Hoping it will make a big difference! And was too worried if went for the 2700, I'd always think what if I had of got the 3700 lol.
Firstly apologies for mess, doing changes now pre decoration so flats all over the place lol. New sofa arriving next month (and dog is camera shy lol).
Front speaker wise I think I am good with the X's marking the spot on each side of TV with slight tilt down aimed to sofa, note moving to 65" tv in next few months.
But the surrounds are causing confusion, I aim to keep the wires in place that are used fore the Bose satellites as seems a good opportunity to move to 7.1 (rear speakers) when finances allow it; though still debating if I need it as mainly just stream movies, apple tv 4k - hence new tv will be 4k dole vision ready; will 7.1 make a difference?
But then where for surrounds? you can see the X's on the pics as initial ideas, would be 1 and half foot (ish) behind sofa and 2-3 ft above listening position. Ideally would love to put them above the picture rail, but my research says 2-3ft above is better. I don't really want them directly on each side of sofa as will look wierd.
Though concerned that they are too close the rear speakers and move to 7.1 if do invest in future as would put where the Bose speakers are if do.
So what do you all think? Recommend?
Thanks
Garry
