Living room HT Setup Recommendation

[redalert]

Hi folks,

I'm relatively new to the world of home theatre setups and just bought a new house, so I'm finally looking to dive in! I'm hoping to get some recommendations for a 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos system for my living room.

I've done a bit of reading, but honestly, it's a bit overwhelming with all the options out there (AVRs, speakers, subwoofers, oh my!). I'm looking for a good balance of performance and value, and I'm open to suggestions for individual components.

Here's a little more info about my situation:

• Room Size: 11.5" x 19.3" | Height: 10ft
• Budget: Upto 2L-2.5L
• Primary Use: Music (50%), Movies and TV shows (50%), Gaming (10%)
• Current Gear: LG C5 | NVIDIA Shield TV Pro 4K | Edifier R1855DB | PS5 | Fire TV 4K
• Codec support required: Dolby Atmos TrueHD

Based on my research and preference:

Receiver (AVR): Yamaha RX A2A or V6A (114K) | Previously used Yamaha 3027IN just for Music, thus Yamaha is preferred.
Main Speakers: Q Acoustics 3020i (45K) | Auditioned and loved the output
Center Channel: Q Acoustics 3090Ci (28K)
Surround: Polk Audio T15 Paid (15.5K)
Subwoofer: Edifier T5 (Already have this)
In-Ceiling Speakers: 2 x Micca M-6C 6.5 Inch (12K)
Cabling: Any specific recommendations for speaker wire and HDMI cables?

Total: 214.5K

Any advice, personal experiences, or specific product recommendations would be greatly appreciated!


Regards,

Any suggestion folks?

May be you should include viewing distance as well in the original question. Each one has different sound preference. I see you are from Mumbai, I hope you have chosen QA based on demo. I demoed QA, Monitor Audio and POLK. To my ears, i loved Monitor Audio Bronze 100. Just take a demo of MA Bronze 100 or a greater model, if not done already.
PS: Not an expert to give suggestions for other questions

Around 9ft
Is Atmos going to be an overkill for this area?

Looking at the room dimension, you would be forced to put right surround on a speaker stand. Please allocate some budget for that. Atmos speakers wouldn't be an overkill if the room length is 19.5 feet.

Edifier SW wouldn't suffice. You can consider an upgrade in the future.

Given that you are in Mumbai, why don't you audition mission speakers in hifimart showroom? Many users have rated it highly (qX2). Also, If you get a good deal with mission floorstanders, you can push SW upgrade for at least a year. Q acoustics have become staple for HT but given that you listen to music 50%, pls do consider mission speakers as well. You can chose center based on front speakers.
