Re: First non-Living room Theater, Help

In the speaker forum it was recommended I switch to high efficiency speakers and move to this forum on this thread, Good points I've gotten spoiled getting away with the low eff nhts in my current setup.

Anyone have suggestions on high eff speakers? Vmps 626r or 626se speakers? Paradigm Studio 20s? Or am I going too small on the midrange?

The roof is not yet on the Theater 2-3more long months, but i'd like to map out a budget, look for some deals.

I'm used to easily driving up to "dolby reference" levels 105db per channel and 115db for LFE, with the VT-2s in my medium sized living room that is shaped like a open backed speaker cabinet.

I figure this new space will have about 4x the volume of the old space. My inexp math tells me that means I probably need 2-3x more efficiency and / or amps & speakers to drive a great setup. It must kick ass or I'll just go out and buy more till I'm happy with it, so I'd prefer to get it right the first time.

Should I assume a single VMPS larger sub is sufficient for the LFE in this volume? Or do I need more sub(s)?

Budget can be upped if clear audible dicernability is obtainable. That's what credit cards are for right?
