I'm new to high end speakers. I bought a house with a blacked out media room that I plan to set up with a projector and ~120" screen with solid Surround sound audio. They had something similar but took their stuff.

Being new, this SEEMS like a good deal, but I wasn't sure how frequently something like this pops up. Ideally, I'd like to keep the A/V under $7,500. If anyone has any links for other items (movie style chairs, projectors) that would be appreciated as well.

Thoughts?

This deal doesn't include a sub. If you plan to get only one, this deal (and nearly any AVR) is going to be fine! If you will have 2 or more SWs, then you should consider a Denon or Marantz since their intermediate AVRs have 4 discrete SW outputs!

Can't you just use a splitter if you wanted 2 subs or a sub and seat shakers?

Calibration should be specific per SW. Why should a SW 6 ft from you have the same LEVEL and DELAY as one 15 ft from you? Why should one SW that is in phase with the front speakers all of sudden become out of phase for another SW near the rear? The list goes on and on!

Receivers with Dirac (w/the exception of RZ50/Pioneer 505) have the option to add Dirac Live Bass Control for multi-sub setups! Even w/o Dirac, you can set up to 4 discrete subs on a Denon/Marantz (starting with 3800 and Cinema 50).

Oh I didn't even think about that; good point. Thanks for the reply.

This series receives frequent bundle deals from adorama. Personally I would recommend second hand speakers to start
Speakers take up a lot of space which gives you leverage in negotiations. Speaker tech hasn't advanced greatly in the last decade or two. Go all in on the AVR though you want the latest audio codes. Look for dirac support to make EQ (tuning) a breeze.

FYI this AVR has a built in Y splitter, whether it's important depends who you ask.

The Onkyo RZ50/Pioneer are a good example, has the same built in Y splitter no Dirac Live Bass Control sub bass management and still very popular.
There are even some people with option for Dirac Live Bass Control for a single sub and don't find it's worth the purchase.

You don't need 3800/Cinema 50 for multi sub, if the Denon/Marantz offers Sub EQ HT it will provide dual independent sub integration just like the 3800/Cinema 50.

I would suggest kinda doing the opposite.
Spend most of your budget on your speakers, more specific the base layer/core 5.1.

For one, the quality of your speakers influences the quality of the sound you hear than some AVR.
Next would be room environment but most people can't/wont bother with this.

If you're after object based soundtrack(Atmos/DTS:X), it's built on top of that baser layer/core speakers.
It's important to have a good one before moving on/up to it imo.
You can always add object based speakers later.

These built in Atmos modules are alternatives for people that can't/won't do in ceiling speakers.
How well they work will vary widely and can be a challenge to setup optimally.

Get slightly older open box or used AVR that offers features you need.

Hi,

In your opinion , how big of a room is necessary for this setup ? I want to use a spare bedoom to convert to a media room but not sure if the sizing is adequate. Thanks.

Imo there many factors that come into play other than just room size.
As far as room size, a few questions to answer.
Can you properly place them for optimal performance.

Since these have the built in Atmos modules, can you position/angle them correctly for optimal performance.

Imo there is no math or science that can actually tell you whether it will ultimately work for you or not.
Imo the only way to truly know is to try it.

Pretty close to the worst thing you've ever posted. As an extreme example, I would never recommend a 15W/channel receiver to a person w/a dedicated 30' x 40' home theater room.
Simple math can already tell you that the receiver in my example won't do well even w/o bringing it home and trying it (waste of time)!

Post again when you've figured out what V=I*R and W = I*V mean!

LOL it's mini me!!!
lol who "suggested" anything! 🙄

Oh you forgot to "READ" when I said:
"Imo there MANY factors that come into play other than just room size"!

By all means tell us again how that ONE factor of "math and science" helps him out to know exactly how it will sound to him let alone works/likes it? 🤔

Hint hint if you READ his question he said "spare bedoom", why are "suggesting" a "30x40 home theater room" scenario!? 🤔
