SS speaker placement
Hello everyone:
I have done a lot of reading over the past few weeks, and even though I have learnt a lot, I find that the information can be overwhelming, especially for a relative neophyte. I am confused, and would like to order the accessories from Amazon, preferably, in order for them to arrive before Christmas. This is my 5.1 setup:
2 Monitor 30B II
2 Monitor 50B II
Sony STR-DH510 5.1
PSW505 12-inch sub
CS20 Center Channel Speaker
I am going to order these speaker stands from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000E6GHH/ref=ord_cart_shr?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER
I do plan to call call Polk CS on Monday, but in the meantime I wanted to order the accessories online and time is of the essence. My questions are, and I would greatly appreciate your feedback.
1. Which set of speakers are best for the front. I had planned to use the M30s.
2. How many banana plugs will I need for setup? No fancy wiring, basic setup.
3. Best speaker wires? I plan to run the rear speakers a distance of over 100 ft.
4. Will banana plugs work for my current AV receiver?
5. Recommendation for a better av receiver (I plan on returning this unit). My budget is around $300 but willing to spend a bit more, if necessary and I don't mind refurb.
Thanks a lot for your help. I have found you guys to be really willing to help Polk newbies and I hope this trend continues with me.
