dilemma about my home theatre
hi. guys i hope everyone is doing fine . I am a bit confused now . I already discussed my plan and budget about home theatre earlier . Now I am thinking in a different way. So I thought to ask a suggestion from you guys .
First I thought of setting up everything except the projector . Now I am planning to do it step by step and not spend a lot of money at a time . So here is my plan now .
option 1
get an online ups or servo stabilizer and get a denon 4700h and hooked up with some speakers that are laying around my house already with a new sub (REL 1205 or rythmik L12) and use my existing tv for now . an also buy some recliner and later upgrade to good speakers and projector
option 2
get a online ups or servo stabilizer and buy a projector epson tw9400 or LG HU810PW along with some recliner , shield tv pro , i can connect my sound bar for now and later i can upgrade to new speakers ,sub and 2023 denon AVR which is capable of dirac calibration .
I need a suggestion, which one I should choose first .

thankyou
Hi Vishnu,
If your current TV is satisfactory, Option 1, but I'd say with 3700 instead of a 4700 as the bump up vs price is really not worth that much of a difference.
With the sub, though, you'll need a REL 15-incher, either the 1508 or the newly launched 1510 Predator, or an equivalent Rythmik 15-incher.
If your area is fully enclosed, a sealed one, or if it opens to other spaces, a ported one probably. (Opinions differ here, and more deets about the room might help FMs suggest better)
For movies, your current speakers (dunno what they are) should hold fort for a while till you muster up the dough - this is especially an important point as you would have been experiencing them for quite a while, and won't be "missing" much.
If you totally want an upgrade over your current TV, then Option 2.
Ideally, I'd say a mixed path between Option 1 and 2.
since you already have a TV,
1. start with the 3700 (or 4700 if you are hell bent) and forget about the 2023 models
Reasons:
a. The power delivered is not much different from the 2021 models.
b. The 23 models are Dirac ready, they don't have Dirac. You will have to purchase the licence, unless you have one already. In which case 2023 models make sense.
c. The pricing is going to be a bummer; better to grab an outgoing model by haggling for a discount before the new ones enter.
2. A good sub as suggested above. Continue enjoying your set up.
3. A good PJ
4. A good LCR set of floor-standers + centre. Then, move your current speakers to surrounds if they will fit those duties.
Trust this helps.
