Pops110 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 They are quite nice I think. I helped my mate with his set up. We used two of the speakers for a zone 2 and put some in ceiling speakers for rears. He bought a Denon X 2300 which is nice, but Yamaha or Marantz or Integra would work. Go and have a listen in store and see if you like them, I was pretty impressed. If this is mainly for Tv and movies I think you can't go wrong, if for critical music listening maybe need to research a bit more. How much music will you listen to?

Thanks for the find mate! Looks very good, would my Rx-V681 enough for it though ? Did you manage to find any other good ones? Most of the time quite low end system i.e. Sony, Panasonic etc Edited June 25, 2017 by R2Droid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2Droid Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) It is settled! I finally got talked in store to go with Yamaha NS-555 5.1 system for $1500, with rear in ceiling speaker & cables thrown in etc. Thought it's a pretty good deal, saving me hassle of installing second hand speakers myself. So here's my purchase: Projector: Epson TW9300 AVR: Yamaha RX-V681 Speakers: Yamaha NS-555 5.1 system Dynamic custom made screen 105" Installation cost is a killer at $880 though >.< Thank you all for your input! All help! Edited June 26, 2017 by R2Droid 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy8 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Good to hear you went to a store. & decided. Suggest you look at the screen again. You want a good screen with your projector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerav Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Should've tried to install yourself first or at least done the grunt work and ran the cables, this is the costly and hard part for installers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2Droid Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) Yea, unfortunately I'm far from handy myself, so better not ruin my ceiling and wall space. PLus they also help with calibration and settings etc, which helps. Don't forget the rep actually threw in 2x rear 8 inch ceiling speakers in replace of the Yamaha rear bookshelf ones, so that get a little bit tricky too. Maybe next time with the speaker cables in, I could just wire in myself if I do upgrade the speakers. Actually on this topic, should I go with rear in ceiling speakers? The rep think it give better rear sounds, better speaker, compared to actual rear mount speakers? Edited June 26, 2017 by R2Droid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pops110 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Good work mate, glad you were happy with the sound of them and bought them. Idealy you would have the speakers mounted on the side walls for best sound, but in ceiling speakers are a lot neater option. Dont forgot to post some pics when all set up.

You want a good screen with your projector. The dynamic screen is locally made in WA as a ready to hang frame, so no stretching or tightening required during installation. Apparently it's made from German engineered screen material, pretty much their top of the line screen. So let's hope so. At least it look good in store. Not cheap though ..cost me almost $800 Edited June 26, 2017 by R2Droid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well since they gave me the in ceiling speaker (apparently bigger & better speaker) as part of the 5.1 system, I thought might as well. Guess the only downside is if I were to sell the speakers, I can't really sell them as whole 5.1 system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
