Room size. Is this for music also? What % movies/music?

 

[SIDDHARTH.BEAM]

70% music and 30%movies room size 11 x 12.5 approx..

 

[Naturelover]

Bad idea. Your room is too small for floor standers.

 

[SIDDHARTH.BEAM]

So bookshelf is more than enough I think and what Center speaker should I go with . And any good suggestion for rear also.

 

[SIDDHARTH.BEAM]

I m a complete noob . Their is too much for me too learn here. What about wires ?

Should I invest in high quality wire plus banana plug . Are there benefit buying high premium wires.

In my personal experience, you would find difference in performance if you upgrade from very bad quality wiring to a decent quality on. However you may not find much of a dfference while upgrading from good wires to very good wisres.

Banana Plugs make life much easier specially when you like to fiddle around with system.

Any specific wire to go with .

Please do specify what you mean by high quality. No offence but that could mean very different things to different people. Banana plugs are only for convenience.
Also, similarly priced cables can sound different from each other. They wouldn't be better and worse, just different.

There is no substitute for research. As you said, there's a wealth of information here. All there for your taking. Have patience. Go through it little by little.
You will also come across a number of people suggesting that there is no substitute for listening yourself. It's just that different setups sound different. It's only you who can decide which one you like most.

i have also heard that bad quality banana plugs can mess up sound quality and there are a lot of them around. So if you are not sure of the quality, it is probably best to stick with skinned wires to speaker terminals

As I was asking that their are pretty big range of wire available in the market . What are the basic criteria to check for a good speaker wire . Don't want to invest too much on wire . But also don't want to go so cheap that it ruin the listing experience . As I have already have wire which I got with my previous ONKYO AV BUNDLE PACK .

Guys plz suggest some good Center and rear speaker .

 

[Naturelover]

Why not Wharfdale itself? Centre should be from the same series as the fronts. Not so important for the rears.
Check out DAC cables. Available on hifimart as well.
