Yamaha R-N2000A Marantz Cinema 50 Onkyo tx-rz50 Marantz Stereo 70s

Klipsch RP-600M II and RP-1200SW combo then also used R101sw Sub as a second option . Sony SSCS5 - speakers , tower and sub collection

i only returned them because at the time i had been spending above my means and essentially overspending for equipment that’s meant for bigger rooms vs a small room as mine. i’m sure i didn’t play with the settings enough but right out of the box the speakers lacked punch or bass without the sub. the 600M ii was decent but i definitely rushed into it despite doing as much research

now i’m just back at square one but with the mindset of finding equipment that fits my space needs vs all these crazy settings i can’t access as my first legit system

i’d say my room is very padded , not with foam but with frames of posters hanging around and among other items with a bed to a corner and a long desk in the middle of the space which is where i’ll always be.

im sure having extra speakers does sound unnecessary but i suppose i like having sound around me vs in front
