I put a good deal of time and, for me, money into my two channel room. The theater room was less planned, but more appreciated by the family. The room is about 20x18 and fully opens at back and two steps down to a much larger room with little furniture. Sony XR-83A90J, Anthem AVM70, Emotive XPA Gen 3 Amps and powered HSU subs. Speakers were all Klipsch. Not exotic, not inexpensive, but easy to assemble 11.1 Atmos system . TV folks setup TV and Anthem ARC.
Is a home theater even worth it or doable?
Please be honest with me. I'm a huge TV movie fan as I'm sure many of you are, and in my youth I used to have a Denon setup, blu-ray, etc. I loved the experience. Fast forward 25 years and now I just stream my tv and movies off Netflix, HBO Max, and Hulu. We are doing a new addition where we have an open space concept. I see myself continuing to stream in the future, but would like a clean sound at least. I am treating myself to an 85" TV not sure the make model yet, but I want a big one. Does it make sense for me to even invest in something more then a sound bar given my streaming and open concept? If so, what type of setup should I consider or if I should prewire something up and where would that be? Thanks for your advice.
