7.2.4 Setup In Progress!
I've gotten into this hobby this year, and just completed the jump from 5.1 to 7.2.4. The setup is mostly Polk: S60 L/R, S30 center, S15 rear surrounds, HTS12 subs, MC60 heights.
I got Dali Oberon On Walls for the surrounds (originally used the S15s as surrounds) as the wife wasn't cool with how much of that walkway space the S15 would have eaten up there. As you can see this space is awkward AF with the little window cove, so the left side surround mounting was rigged out of a cheap TV mount lol.
Lastly, a Denon X3800H AVR with a Fosi V3 driving the rear heights. TV is a TCL 98QM67K (Canada's version of the QM6K Pro).
I am definitely aware of whats lacking in the aesthetic department of the room - the walls will be painted a darker color, and I'm planning to make a handful of acoustic panels with some art and/or movie posters printed on the fabric.
Otherwise, I will be getting rid of that awful green cabinet soon (planning to get a BDI Corridor audio rack there, or build a dupe because damn theyre pricey), and figuring some kind of corner shelf vibe out for the back corner with the sub and right rear surround to be able to tuck the sub in a little bit more and have the surround sit over it.
I am loving this setup so far, it sounds glorious to my not super trained ears. Very happy with it but would love to hear if anyone has some criticisms with it that I may have missed!
