Hello there.

I just bought the new sammy HL-S6187, the Denon 3806 (7.1), and the sammy DVDHD960 dvd player. I'm building out a HT and need feedback about the speakers. I'm a big movie/sports guy (70%) and listen to music about 30%.

I'm looking at going all POLK for the speakers. RC85i front/rear right and left, RC80i in-ceiling rear surround, CSi5 Center, and the PSW505 sub. I want all, minus sub and center, in wall in room that's rectangular in shape at 25 long and 20 wide. The TV is offset in one corner, so acoustics will be off center.

Is this system too much or too little for great movie watching? I wouldn't mind paying less for a comparable system if possible.

Thanks for your feedback in advance.

I'm not a big fan of polkbut the rest of the system is nice. I like Paradigm speakers. You have some a good start but it sounds like you'r going to ruin it with thta off center set up.

Thanks for the feedback. What would a 7.1 Paradigm system run me? Just getting to know that brand right now.

As for the setup, there's really nothing I can do. The house was built that way. The fireplace was given the center area and the TV niche was placed off to the right. I wish I could change it, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen.

thanks again.

A set up of Studio 20 L&R fronts $650, CC470 center $500, and ADP 170 monitors for surrounds $350 and titans for rears surrounds $200. For the sub I recommend Outlaw Audio LFM-1 $579 http://outlawaudio.com/products/lfm1plus.html
