Hi guys,
Firstly, apologies for any tech ignorance shown in this post.
I have an Epson EH-TW5600 projector and I would like to upgrade my audio set up. I need advice as to what the best set up for me is. The projector only has an audio out jack. It's at the back of the room and the speakers would be placed about 3/4 metres away at the front. Seats are about 3 metres from where the speakers would be. The set up would be used for movies through my Chromecast Ultra and music with Spotify. I don't feel I have room for a 5.1 system, but could do 3.1 if stereo isn't going to be great for movie dialogue.
I was thinking about going for bookshelf speakers like the Dali Spektor 2, that way it's future proofed and I can add to it, plus they look great. Are bookshelf speakers generally good for movies and music? Would I need an AV receiver to get the most out of it? I'm guessing this would be a cable running around skirting to the front of the room.
Originally I was thinking Sonos to make it wireless, but I don't think I can use Chromecast with that so it would be a cable running from projector to the Sonos.
What are your recommendations for the best setup?
Thanks
