Hah, I'm sure many people's basement ceiling heights is not 9.3ft, lol.

Anyway, yeah, the width and length of your room should not be the same (as the beginning for acoustics). Otherwise you will need a lot of treatments, not that I'd know, because I know next to nothing about that for now.

So you expected the architect to design a home with a home theater in mind about 25 years before home theater equipment was available to consumers?

Rectangular rooms would be nice. The house we lived in during 1958 to 1972 was more amenable. But I guess some of the McMansions are drawn up with that factor in mind, no less than some of the newer tracts are FIOS ready.

We're all retired here -- one of us still applying for SS. So in hindsight, since my HTPC-to-HDTV project just wanted 5.1 with a standby-passthrough feature, I could've spent a couple Franklins less for a cheaper Onkyo than the one I bought.

All said and done -- I'm happy with it. I need to remember to turn it off from time to time and use the passthrough with my 5.1 PC speaker system.

On the speakers, I may already have suggested to the OP or whomever: Egg is still selling the JBL Cinema 500's for ~$800. And per my review there, I can't see why they're doing that, when everyplace else is offering them for ~$400 or less. I got these for $323 in the factory carton brand-new.

lucky you, you must have gone away from them and come back. That is the only way I know how to see that a speaker is fabulous. For me, they were the relatively cheap av123 strata mini for music (with tube amps), and the onix reference 2s for home theater. Both are hard to find nowadays.
 
for $16 its hard to go wrong

for many people theyd be good.

I love my Klipsch Quartets/Academy....my dad loved the sound so much he went with Chorus/Academy

we both picked up emotiva's sub on sale.

under $1000 and will shake the house while crystal clear.
 
lol this is for a bedroom so no house shaking but my sub can do it though 😀. i read some reviews on them and they got great reviews saying they sound great with clear sound. so i jumped on this deal on ebay and there brand new ?
