Speaker setup for game room/media room

[razor488]

Is this a solid setup for this room? Floors are wood. Use is mostly TV/Movies. Not listening to music.

Currently own:
- Denon x3200x
- AVS PB-2000 Pro (just purchased from SVS). I will add a second sub later.

Local AV guy is wanting to set me up with:
- SVS Prime Center
- SVS Prime elevation x 2 (left wall is a pony wall so only location that "rear" speakers can go is back corner of room
- SVS Prime Pinnacle floor speakers x 2 for front L/R ($799 each instead of $899)

Apparently the Prime Center and Pinnacles are pretty mediocre:

Anyone own or have experience with these speakers ? You can find good deals on them occasionally. Any feedback welcome Thx

SVS Prime Center review (by Erin)

Thanks to @hardisj for another review. This is the US$400, 3-way center channel by SVS. Discuss!

To me looks like (relatively) boomy, shallow bass, sharp vocals, and muffled treble. Not the worst I've ever seen by any means, but not where I'd put my money at all.

At this price point you can look at Ascend's stuff, very good price/performance and US-based, pretty much as good as you can do at the ~$1500 price point for a pair of passives. I think they would be pretty obviously better than the SVS units in a side-by-side test.

BTW welcome to ASR!
