Looking at the size room and your choice of music, it will be best to use speakers with a high sensitivity, like Klipsch. Also, they will be extremely dynamic for movies. Going to a much lower sensitivity speaker after using Klipsch may prove to be a disappointment. Look at their recommended systems, and add a second subwoofer or extra rear channels, or both.
HT help! Budget 10k
Hello Audiophile,
Please go easy on me and a noob here when it comes to HT. I do apologize as I know thread like this comes up all the time, but everyone's situation and configuration are different.
I've been running my current system for quite sometime now and it's time to upgrade or replace to a much better HT system that will last me 10+ years. My current budget is $10,000 excluding the TV. If I can spend less, great!
This is not a dedicated HT room. This will be in the living room and the size is 32'x20' (640sqft). We primarily will be using this HT system to play movies, music, and some occasion games. Music is more Trance, Hip Hop, and Rap.
I need real world advice and experience as to what would be my best option here. I'm not against using old speakers or the newest and greatest speakers. Whatever will bring out the best sound for the price is what I am looking for.
I would love to implement a 7.1 or 7.2 system, but I understand price will be a huge factor here so I will consider a 5.1 or 5.2 system as well. Whatever brands and models you can provide would be greatly appreciated. I would also like to run a separate setup as well to fully bring out the potential on the speakers.
Below here is my very basic current simple setup:
Denon AVR-790 (Just Died on me)
2 Audiofile 830LR floorstanding speaker
1 Klipsch RC52 Center
1 Klipsch RW10 Subwoofer
