I have a Denon AVR-1906 7 channel receiver. I want to put speakers in the ceiling all over the house. my den has the receiver. i want surround sound in that room. i was originally going to buy polk Rc80i speakers for all of the rooms. i was planning on putting four in the den(in the corners). that is where the TV is located. I was then told that I could simply buy a sub-woofer and a center channel to complete my surround sound.
1. do you think that will sound adequate? 2. are those speakers ok for an occassional movie? i listen to music more than movies. 3. should i just get one of those complete surround sound systems in a box for that room instead?
i want good sound, but i don't really want to spend more than the $200 a pair i will be spending on the polks.
i went to tweeter yesterday to listen. they tried to talk me into these $1800 dollar a pair floor speakers. made me think that i need to spend a little more on my speakers, but not quite that much. any suggestions?
Thanks for the advise, Nuck. He did ask me about my habbits. I told him about my system. He did not offer to let me try them at home. There is no way I will spend nearly that much on a pair of speakers (unless I win the lottery....and I mean at least 100 Mill).
I am leaning towards putting the polk speakers throughout the house in the ceiling, and getting traditional surround sound speakers for the den. Everyone's input is appreciated. I will let you know what happens.
