Hi Folks,
I am making a new home theater (dedicated room). After researching here on these forums, I have finalized and paid advance for the following equipment:
Receiver / Amp
Klipsch speakers for a 9.4.1 setup:
The room is 30' x 14'6", and so the plan for 9.4.1 setup (1 sub for now - maybe add a second sub later)
My problem is this:
I have 12 channels power available to me, but I need to drive 13 channels.
Cinebels Hyderabad suggested we will run the 4 ceiling speakers using 2 channels of an amp. All speakers are 8 ohm (brochure says 8 ohm "compatible" - not sure why they put the word compatible).
I am not a technically knowledgeable, so I seek your help in advising what to do.
a. Should I put 4 ceiling speakers in series using 2 channels?
b. Should I drop 2 ceiling speakers and make it 9.2.1?
c. Buy a cheap 2ch amp - (but will main volume control work)?
I do not prefer to spend much more money, so spending another 80k on a 2ch Marantz amp is not an option.
Thanks,
Giri
