Need help in setting up a new Home Theater System (Dolby Atmos 7.2.4)

[Divyam]

Hi all,

We are planning to create a Home Theater setup in the hall in Mumbai.

Room Size : 34 ft x 18 ft x 9 ft

I would be using the room for Movies (70%) and Music (30%)

Setup 1
Fronts: Sonetto VIII G2 + Sonetto Center G2
Surrounds: Sonetto PC 562P 4 pc
Atmos: Sonetto PC 562P 4 pc
Subs: SVS SB 4000 2 pc
Amp: Emotiva XPA-3 Gen3
Receiver: Denon X4800H


Setup 2:
B&W 702 S3 Tower Pair
HTM71 S3 Center
Surrounds And Atmos - 8 pc CCM682
Subs – SVS SB 4000 2 pc
Amp - Emotiva XPA-3 Gen3
Receiver - Cinema 40

I would want tower speakers.

Kindly suggest if the above 2 options work, and which would be best, can go for a mix of both or any other suggestions are welcome.

Have you also considered KEF?
Consider getting a demo then you will be able to make a better decision

Your configs look good, also consider room correction. Dirac live and bass control would be great.

I agree with the above post. Pls use KEF in the mix. I found B&W to be a bit harsh on the high frequency except the diamond series and the Sonus felt a bit dry. We all have different ears and different tastes.
I would keep the Receiver to Denon 3800 and have power amps in the mix to get the right drive for the speakers

Thanks everyone. We have demoed and liked these 2 speakers, leaning more towards the B&W since the sonetto’s sound a little less punchy.

I have taken a 3 ch power amp for the fronts and I think the denon Has Dirac, if we purchase the software separately.

Is the woofer option good?
