Hi as the Newbie from Hong Kong (HK). I just know this forum by chance and want to seek your help.
Listening area is very small in HK which is only 8 feets x 7 feets
Also Hong Kong living place is too small, and people only care about earbuds or even soundbar mostly, very tiny market for AVR
For AVR, the price is no way to drop and there is no "Black Friday" concept in my region.
Below is my 5.1.2 setup (or more 5.1 as my AVR does not have HDMI 2.1 that cannot passthrough Atmos, only DD+)
LCR: Wharfedale D320 and D300C
Surrounded speaker: 2 speakers from my Wharfedale DX-2 5.1 set
Front Atoms Speaker: Onkyo SKH-410
Subwoofer: SVS SB-1000 Pro
AVR: Onkyo TX-NR686
TV: Sony X90J
Heavily with PS5 and Movie (Netflix/Disney plus), around 10-20% on music.
I am planning if there is anyway for improvement mainly watching movie/game/music. Below is my question
1. For the AVR, do I need to change to Denon 3700H/4700H, or it is better to upgrade to 6700H instead?
2. As I am heavily playing PS5, given it is already released in 2020 for the 3700/4700/6700, is that I should wait for new AVR next 1-2 yr with more HDMI 2.1 support?
3. I am also thinking to improve the LR speakers to be Wharfedale Diamond 12.2, is that a good upgrade?
4. Any other better LCR speakers that can recommend (KEF?)
5. For my area, I cannot install the Atmos Speaker on the ceiling. I found that my front Atoms speaker is crap. Any other recommendation?
6. Overall is there any other improvments that I can get for my set?
Thank you a lot for your attention.
Sorry for my poor English as it is not my first language.
