I have found a ton of amazing information on your site, and I get lost in the forums getting sucked down the intriguing rabbit hole one after another!
That being said, your site convinced me to pick up the Yamaha RX-A3070 and am super happy with the unit. I have 7 in ceiling SpeakerCraft Aim 8 four speakers that sound great for background music and TV, but leave a lot to desire in regards to movie dialogue as well as critical music listening. I would like to replace my front in-ceiling speakers for a good LRC set. I have an opportunity to purchase some Klipsch at dealer pricing and am looking at the RF-7 and RC-64, but I have been leaning toward the SVS Ultra's based upon a lot of the online feedback. I am able to pick up the Klipsch set for ~$1,800. This is obviously about $900 less than the SVS set would cost.
I only currently have a single subwoofer that is a Jamo SUB550, which is a mediocre unit that doesn't have the precision that I would prefer, but a sub is not currently in the budget. I know that the SVS towers should be able to make up for the lackluster sub currently in the system, but eventually, a new sub will get introduced after a new 4K display.
Size of my room is approximately 20x24, with open floor plan connected to the kitchen off to the side.
I have my display mounted on the wall without any equipment in the living room except for the speakers, sub, and touch panel. Are there any issues with mounting a center channel like the Ultra Center or the RC-64 on the wall? I assume that resting the speaker on heavy duty arms or a shelf?
I would also like to continue utilizing my SpeakerCraft Aim 8 four speakers in the ceiling for my surrounds and future Atmos setup.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
