Re: first av system

In general, youwant to work TOWARD five identical spekaers driven by five identical amplifier channels, mostly impossible when you are starting out. The overall goal is to surround the listener/viewers in an acoustic bubble. Further, the speakers should all be equi-distant from the center of the "sweet spot" and should be set at identical levels (75 db is the usual reference), preferably with a sound level meter (most good listeners can get within 1/2 db by ear).
The ultimate goal is the best "suspension of disbelief" that you can achieve.

Having said all that, I think you are off to a good start but keep the above in mind as your system and expertise progresses. And keep an eye out for good used equipment.

Have fun and good luck.
