I think proper setup can go much farther than throwing money. Again, welcome.

Bingo. Smart purchases and research can really make the difference. There are those who can throw a bunch of money at a system to get results, and those who throw a lot of research at a system. Most of the time a smartly designed budget theater can outperform a high price tag theater that's just thrown together without the research.

New couch since original post updated the pictures.

Thanks guys, yes it sounds very nice. Had to find something that was compact but packed a punch and having a pair of 305s and sub with my computer system I figured I'd just add three more speakers and call it a day.

I have a pair of Polk SRS 3.1TL Mains, Polk CS350 LS Center, Polk LS/FX Surrounds, SVS PB12-NSD, along with a row of 3 Palliser seating in the basement. Currently those fun items are not set up since moving into home. Hopefully I can start working on a room down there.

Very nice set up, I know space is limited but have you tried moving the couch a few feet away from the wall? It probably would give you even better surround sound performance.

Here is the final room layout. I noticed the old picture was featured on Facebook. Changes have been 60in TV and adding the SVS SB13 Ultra with bi polar surround speakers mounted on wall. The other day I moved the couch out from the wall a tad and put the sub behind the couch and it sounds great has the tactile feel during scenes.

Hey C750!

I've been perusing the web for some time now trying to figure a way to use my LSR305's for surround sound and stumbled across this! I had a question about your connections, not only the cables involved to connect your JBL's to the Yamaha receiver but also which ports you've connected them to (on the Yamaha)? I presume your using RCA-Y to 1/4-TS patch cables and connecting them from your LSR305's to the "Front", "Surround", "Sur. Back", "Center", and "Zone 2" analog inputs on the RX-A840 for 5.1? Correct me if I'm wrong!
