I've been watching movies with my hifi setup for years and finally decided to go for a 5.1 system for better movie experience. Current setup:
I'm looking to get a pair of MA Silver or Gold FX for surrounds. But subwoofer is what I don't know much and not sure what I should be looking at in terms of spec and features etc. Looking to spend GBP 500-750, can stretch to 1000 if needed for step up in performance/feature that my room (or setup) really requires. I close all the connecting doors when watching movies, room is 4.6x6.8m.
I'm doing some research but would really appreciate some advice and recommendations on the sub:
1. what size/power should I go for and what's must have features for a sub? Specific model recommendation would be great.
2. Looking at below room diagram, I have the rack at one corner that I can not move because the HDMI cable is under the floor and come out from the corner. I marked 3 position that I think might be option for the sub and for now I prefer position A, it is within easy reach of the rack for cabling. Position B is next to the sofa, I will probably want to use wireless kit for it. Position C is also easy for cabling but the sub will be next to a glass door which might not be ideal for sub? So which position is ideal and I should look for a sub to match the room and placement I'm thinkning of?
Dynaudio Contour S3.4 LE fronts
Devialet 400 (in HT bypass mode for movies)
Denon X3500H
Dynaudio Contour SC center
