Still in the planning stages, but the room in my basement designated for HT is 17'd x 21'w x 10' (ceiling).
The room is a basically a rectangle shape and I plan on putting a projector screen on the 21' wall to ensure plenty of room for 4 theater chairs side by side. Right now I like the 106 to 110" screen size.
Questions, and I understand these are opinions and that's what I'm looking for.
#1 I have 17' of depth, but I didn't want the chairs on the back wall (want recliners) so I'm planning for about 14' from the screen...too close?
#2 Power...I'm looking at the RMB-1085, to run the 5 channels, and add a 2-channel if I go to 7.1 - enough power to fill this room?
#3 5.1, 6.1, or 7.1, I'll be able to put rears on the back wall, but is the room too small for 7.1? Would 5.1 be enough?, Does 6.1 make sense?
#4 Initially I thought I was settled on front speakers (B&W 803s/htm3s), but the cost of the projector is biting deeper into the budget. Now I'm thinking about the Paradigm Monitor series 11, cc390. Considerably less money, but am I giving up too much in sound quality? Heard them both, but never side by side.
#5 Finally I have a PS1200 sub now. Is that enough for great bass in a room this size? Do I need a second sub?
I know it's a lot, but thanks for your reply.
