Hello Guys,

I’m in the process of building a personal home theater PC, separate from the main setup I built two years ago in the living room. I have a seperate work room, I call my personal studio, Since I recently upgraded my Denon X3700H to the X4800H, I decided to utilise the X3700H by connecting it to my gaming PC. I paired it with a set of DALI Oberon 3 bookshelf speakers and a REL T5x subwoofer, creating a 2.1 stereo music setup and so far, I’m elated with it.

Now, I’m planning to expand this into a 5.1.2 atmos system. I am confused in choosing the right rear surround speakers, since I don’t have much space for large or heavy units near the back-wall. I’d prefer compact surround speakers, for atmos I am thinking a pair of SVS Prime Elevations placed above my seating position either on the side walls or mounted directly to the vaulted ceiling.

So far, I’ve shortlisted the following options:

  • Rear Surround: Polk ES15 (compact size) or Q Acoustics 3010i (also, I’m bit confused about the rear speaker placement, since my back wall is little congested, the right side has a mounted bookshelf, while the left side has a door opening)
  • Atmos: SVS Prime Elevation or another pair of compact bookshelf speakers mounted on the ceiling

MY ROOM SIZE IS APPROX 7.5x16 ft

Along this journey, I’ve learned a lot with plenty of hiccups, successes, and failures. It has been an incredible experience and a rewarding journey as a home theater enthusiast, and my thanks goes to the community and member of this forum. You guys have helped me a lot.
 
What is your screen size?
Is it large enough to give you proper movie experience from around 15 feet?
Else you will have great sound but unimpressive visuals.
There needs to be a balance between both aspects of movie watching, audio and video.

You could possibly move the sofa into the room towards the screen.
