Hi....i need some advice from the sifus here....i m looking to set up a home theatre system preferably 5.1.2....60% of the time will be for movies whilst 40% for music....clarity... good sound separation and right strong bass is important to me....my budget is around rm12-15k for the whole set up. Thanks

the Atmos-enabled upfiring speakers wont do the tricks? my upper room ceiling isnt that high also, around 9ft high.

my concern is portability still. Anyway still waiting for the LG SJ9 to arrive. Have to experience it first then start from there whether it's worth it to go for a full setup. Now doing some readings also on a proper Atmos setup, maybe planning to have a 5.1.2, the wall-mounted Atmos speakers is somehow not really ideal for me, for now.

Bookshelf speakers are more suitable for a small room right? And it requires a proper stand as well making it kinda difficult to find a proper setup for the set. I’m all open now to suggestions whether it’s a bookshelf-typed or floor-standers, main concern would be which brands to go for, for a best possible best bang for my money planned on spending with these setup without sacrificing sound quality.
Ceiling is flat with one ceiling fan of course. Mounting wouldn’t be much of a problem as most probably looking for a wall-mounted ones if I’d go for the direct firing overhead speakers, concerns would be wire management in which could be resolved by concealing it under those acoustic wall foams (cheap China-made one) but the cost of these cables in general. May I know what kind of cables are you using for your setup there in your siggy and which type of connections? Brands wise now looking for Klipsch (as per your recommendation to other forummer, QAccoustics, SVS to name a few).

And I would most probably go for the Denon AVR X6400H, for future upgradability, and full support for a 7.1.4 without external amplifier. Never really bothered about a proper HT setup before but since now in a planning stage, well F me, the price of the top-fledged AVR like X6400H is like building a mid-ranged desktop pc!!

Recommendations for reputable shops and good price will always be welcomed as well.

Anyway, Still doing some readings of my planned setup as I don’t like everything to be handled by the shop. I wouldn’t mind paying but definitely would mind if got cheated. Lol 

Thank for the info, it actually jogged my memory as to why I stopped looking for AV processors.

These AV processors cost much more than the equivalent receivers although without the amplification. Supposedly audiophile grade? Why can’t some manufacturers produce copy of their AVR without the amplification and sell it cheaper than the AVR?

Hi all, newbie here.
Recently bought a new set home theater, Yamaha brand.

oh cool thanks for your help, i am not a very fussy person when it comes to sound but perhaps wrongly assumed that for a basic set up the cheap speaker and amp combo of todays standards would be good enough..guess i should keep saving
