Need advice buying an amp & speakers for Projector!! Please Help

[admin_exported]

Hi all, I'm new here and I was looking for some help with the following. I have a Sony VPL-HS60 Projector and I'm looking to buy an AV Amp to hook up to the HDMI input. After looking around for a while I think I'm going to get the Onkyo TX SR605 but I have no idea about the speakers. I was looking at Jamo E6 models but my budget will only cover maybe a 5.1 setup for the moment with the view to upgrade (if needed) to 7.1 in the future. This is for an attic conversion and the room is 15ft x 15ft so not sure I need 7.1. Also I will be looking to have a ps3, windows media centre & satilite etc hooked up through the amp.

Can you recommend a cheaper/better set of speakers or even amp for the same money as I'm lost looking into all this stuff...? Any advice would be appreciated.

Yes to the TX-SR605, no problems at all, but the Jamo E6 pack is a bit of an unknown quantity (to me at least). I'd be thinking more in terms of the Q Acoustics 5.1 system, KEF 2005s or maybe even Mordaunt-Short Genies in this price range. The new M-S Alumni system looks a bit interesting, too...

Thank you for the reply. I'm going to look into these sets now. I'm find it so hard to make decisions 😉

Thanks again..

By the way I was wondering is there any point going for a 7.1 system with regards to the size of the room and the amount of movies/games mastered in 7.1????
