Hi everyone,
I am very new to owning ML or any of this type of speakers and my first time having a home theatre. I am currently building a new home and I will have a 14' x 22' home theatre room with 9' ceilings in my basement. It will be fully enclosed with a double door to get in the room on the back. I am currently planning to have a 7.2.2 or 7.2.4 home theatre setup. I have currently purchased the following equipment:
Marantz SR7011 receiver (I also have a SR6011)
Motion 50XT for center
Motion 35XT x 2 which I plan to use for front left and right
Motion FX x 4 that I plan to use for surround L/R and rear surround L/R
I was planning to put 2 or 4 in ceiling speakers for Atmos
My question and where I need your assistance is the following:
1. Should I use 2-4 in ceiling speakers for Atmos or should I buy Motion AFX x 2?
2. For the Motion FX, do I truly need to mount them at ear level or can I mount them at ceiling level and angle it down with the original ML brackets? For cosmetic sake I would prefer to mount them closer to the ceiling.
3. Should I use 14 or 16 AWG wire for my speaker wire?
Since I am building a new home I have all open walls where I can do what I want.
Thank you in advance all for your suggestions and have a great day!
