A friend of mine was planning on a home theater in a 500sqft space. New house new basement and currently not partitioned before the lockdown, so the size is an estimate.
He has been told by some people to go for the monitor audio towers silver 300 and the c150 center along with really expensive speakers. Since the lockdown is preventing me from stepping outside and audition them on my own, I thought I’ll ask some people for personal opinions. I’ve heard Klipsch R620 and RP600, (hopefully I haven’t got those models wrong), elac F5.2 and f6.2 and also the pioneer fs52. While I would probably call the pioneers (Andrew jones) as the best bang for your buck, I’d consider f6.2 and to an extent 5.2 very capable of handling the space. Could the theater get away with 6 b6.2 c6.2 and 4 in ceiling speakers. 95% will be Video consumption and maybe the music will only be through online sources such as YouTube and spotify.
edit subwoofers will exist with a xo of 80hz. AVR 3080 (trying to get my hands on 3070)
