First Speaker Purchase.........
We are in the process of looking at our first H/T and music system. I am currently looking at either the AVR7000 or AVR630. I do not believe we are going to have room for a 6.1 or 7.1 system, so that points me towards the 7000. My main reason for posting is for some advice on speaker purchase. The small town we live in has no audio/video stores. Our room size is approximately 20x30. Carpeted floors, sheetrock walls, two windows in the room. Music preferences range from blue grass, country, classic rock, celtic. I am torn between to cube type/subwoofer systems like Orb Audio or something more like Ascend Acoustics. We would like the speakers and/or speaker stands to have a small footprint as to maximize floor space. Would rather not hang surrounds on the walls. The 36" Toshiba TV will be against one wall and the primary sitting area against the opposite side of the room against the wall.
Being that the couch will be against the wall I am not sure how the surrounds should be placed.
Price range I am looking at is between $1000 and $1200 shipped.
I hope I have given all enough info. If not, please let me know and will answer accordingly.
Thank you,
Jason
