I live in 3 storey townhouse and on the top floor is a large room which we have divided into 3 areas, bedroom , office and lounge / tv / cinema.
I've no flexibility to change the layout.
The tv / home cinema area has the following kit
LG55 C9
Marantz NR1607 receiver
B&W 601 Series 3 front left and right
B&W CC6 S2 centre speaker
B&W ASW 600 sub
Onkyo d-11m rear surrounds (not currently wired in and I know they are crap!)
I've attached a couple of images - plan and elevation
I can't move the sofa away from the back wall
The right hand side of the area (looking at the tv) is completely open into the rest of the room
I really like B&W sound, but I'm not tied into them, but cost of upgrades should be as low as possible.
I like having a decent music stereo sound too
I'm happy with the power of the AV receiver (and I think it sounds pretty good too)
I wonder about whether to add ATMOS speakers, but I think the slope of the ceiling is going to a problem and possibly not worth it (see elevation view)
I was wondering whether to get BW M1s for the rears?
Change has to be wife friendly (visually)
Also considering whether to get a Soundbar instead (Sonos Arc?)
I like having a sub, but due to the location (top floor of townhouse, semi-detached) the bass has to be quite measured.
Be really interested to hear your thoughts.....
