I thought about Atmos, I'm going to wire for it. Right now, AVR (Denon AVR-4200W) will only allow for 5.2.2 without adding an amp plus I would have to buy some new speakers. Thinking another sub will be my next purchase got a VTF2-MK5 and would like to add another. AV123 x-statics and X-voce across the front, XL-S rear surround and ERD-1 for sides. So, 7.1 for the time being. Now the other half has gotten involved, before it was do whatever you want. Now it's let's do something with a more open concept so looking at the same dimensions but doing a 1/2 wall and bar on the entry side. Still in the planning phase.
Thanks for the feedback, I'm sure once I get started, I'll have a ton of questions.
