Hi All,
like a lot of people on here i have been lurking in the back ground trying to soak up information and ideas from you knowledgeable bunch.
we have decided to re decorate the lounge so I have been given the go ahead by the boss to create a home cinema install as long as its discrete and tasteful. I have previously been running a 7.2 set up with B&W 603 s3 as the fronts with the B&W CC6 for centre and in ceiling speakers for the surrounds and rears, i have a BK XXLs 400 and a rel stampede for the Subs.
I have sold the fronts and centre as the wife wasn't happy with these and plan on going with in walls (more wife friendly).
From this forum I already know there are a few things that are not ideal, in wall/ in ceiling speakers seem a bit of a compromise and different make of subs is a no no.
So i will be putting some pictures up in the next few days and as the build progresses, i will have plenty of questions so any help/advise will be much appreciated. unfortunately this will be a very budget conscious build as i just don't have the funds to chuck at this, even though every fibre of me wants to go big.
1st question, while i have the lounge in pieces should i wire for atmos speakers, i'm thinking of going for a 7.2.4 layout, but this causes issues with the budget already due to the cost of a receiver that will power the 7.2.4 speakers.
2nd question, the surround Left and Right are still going to be in the ceiling, as i can't get them on the walls, i am going to put the rears in walls, but was wondering if there would be enough distinction from the atmos speakers and surrounds due to them all being in the ceiling. I have never listened to an atmos set up apart from at the cinema, so any feed back would be great.
Well i think that's enough waffle from me for the minute.
Thanks in advance
