Recommendations for home theatre setup
Ok so we just moved into a new place and are doing some reno work. While this is happening i would like to upgrade my current home theatre setup to a newer setup. The new space for the home theatre is less than ideal to say the least. It has a fireplace and an open back end. The right side of the room is also riddled with windows which complicates things further.
My budget is about $800-$1000 for the receiver + speakers. The main issue i am having is where/how to mount speakers. My current setup is a 6.1 jbl set (model #:JBL SCS136SI) with a yamaha htr-5650 (http://usa.yamaha.com/products/audio-vi ... mode=model). I would not mind reusing speakers but as i said earlier i dont really know where to mount the rear speakers. The front, centre, and right can all be mounted along the front of the room, but the rears are the real issue. There is no rear wall to the room because it backs into the dinette/kitchen. I was thinking that the only real way to mount them would be to use some sort of speaker stands.
This is what i came up with so far:
These speakers and reuse my old sub
JBL Loft

I was thinking of using the tower speakers as the rears and mount the other speakers on the wall as fronts (if thats possible)
and these three receivers:
Yamaha rx-v573 b

or
pioneer vsx 1122-k or vsx-822-k
If there is something better then im open to suggestions.
