In my search to setup a home theater I auditioned a 9.5 setup with 9CM center and DFS4 supplemented by a SW150 sub.
Alongwith the above I also auditioned the 9.1 bookshelves and was more impressed with them over the 9.5. The 9.1 sounded more precise while the 9.5 were more diffuse.
Since the 9.1 sounded good, I am wondering if I should substitute the 9.5 towers with the larger 9.2 bookshelves and add a second SW150 to the setup. The dealer tells me that in my 15x20 room the 9.5 are a must as they will handle the frontstage better than the 9.2.
I plan to do only movies and am a believer that only a sub should handle the low end.
My concerns are:
1. Will adding a second sub complicate things?
2. Will the 9.2 be able to handle the frontstage as well as the 9.5?
On a related note I'm considering the following receivers:
1. Yamaha 663
2. Marantz 4002
3. Harman 347
4. Denon 2308
