You have about 3000 cubic feet of space in you room( not including the wet bar and play area). I would suggest you look a at the Grand Master 350 and consider upgrading the subwoofer. However, that is a 5.1 system and is already at around $2100 and is getting very close to your $2200 budget. Remember you will do better if you go with the factory outlet.

I'd rather see you spend the money on a better qualty 5.1 system then a sub standard 7.1 system (based on the room size). The last thing you want is to start to bottom out a sub becasue it just can't fill the volume of air in the room.


An upgraded subwoofer or center channel will give you sig. better sound then adding the back surround speakers.

Get your 5.1 working right now, worry about 7.1 later.
