Sorry for the late reply. The space to the right is a bit wide. It leads to the dining and kitchen. If the receiver supports 5.2.4 then why not go for two subs?

Ceiling's 9ft. high and around 15ft. wide with an open space to the right and windows to the left. Yeah definitely want some good subs. For the speakers I think I'm gonna settle for the debut series from Elac. They seem to sound well enough for me.

The living room, wall to wall, is about 12ft. and has windows on left side. The distance from the entertainment center and the natural sitting position on the main sofa is around 10ft. There are two solo sofas on the sides of the main sofa. We hardly have parties around but when we do it's...

Yes, I'm purchasing new speakers as my old ones don't have proper terminals too hook into a receiver and looking at the $1k-$500 speaker range and preferably in the same family. I want to setup a system that can double as a music player that's why I'm looking at amping the front speakers...

I see. Sorry. Really have no experience with amplifiers. But i do get it now with your explanation. Will have to head to a store and try auditioning some. But my current pick so far is that Yamaha AVR and some Emotiva amp. Looking at some Elac and Pioneer speakers.

What I'm curious though wouldn't the Amp connected speakers be significantly louder than the ones connected straight to the AVR?

I see. I'll have to check that. My current AVR choice is the Yamaha RX-V781.

I reckon the Master Control would be on the AVR and the Amp will be connected via pre-out and the Fronts and Center will be on the Amp while the Surround would be connected straight to the AVR.

Thanks. Wouldn't it affect overall sound quality and volume if the Fronts and Center were running on a separate amp while the Surround and Atmos speakers ran straight from the AVR? Say the Front speakers would be too loud or it can all be adjusted through the Receiver?

First foray into proper home theater setup. Planning on a 5.1.4 system. My question is it okay to run different amplifiers to different speakers? Say a Stereo for the front, Multichannel for the surround and center?

I'm not asking how to make my laptop charge its battery because the battery is shot. My laptop is old and I use it as a home server and is connected to it's power brick and the charging led indicator doesn't turn on and windows it says it's not charging. Today though when I turned it on the led...

Can the same thing be done with video recording?

Nothing too mystical, but the wifi sd card sure sounds like a good solution. I just need something where I could view the recorded file immediately because it will used on the field and I thought if there is a way to have the camera save the file directly to my laptop the better.
