AVR (Control Center)

• Denon AVR-X2700H (7.2 ch, 8K, Audyssey MultEQ)Dolby Atmos/DTS:X compatible, 7 HDMI inputs, 4K/120Hz and 8K passthrough support, Audyssey MultEQ room correction for automatic calibration. It's one of the best "value/technical" options in 2024–2025.

1. Front/Surround/Center Speakers
   • SVS Prime Satellite 5.1 System (5 Prime satellites + Prime Center) (official pack including satellites for L/R, center, and surrounds). The Prime satellites are compact but offer good extension (≈69 Hz–25 kHz ±3 dB) and very controlled room response. The Prime center offers clarity in voices and dialogue. (SVS Prime 5.1 system + optional sub).

Subwoofer

1. SVS SB-1000 Pro (sealed, 12″, DSP, app control) — compact subwoofer with great control and extension (≈20–270 Hz ±3 dB), 325 W RMS, and advanced DSP. Highly valued for its precision and versatility in medium-sized rooms.

Essential Accessories

• Stands or wall mounts for the satellites (SVS Prime are easy to mount/position).
• Speaker cables16 AWG or 14 AWG (if the distance is >5–7 m), banana/spade connectors if your AVR allows it.
• HDMI 2.1 cable (for 4K/120/8K console/streamer input).
• Anti-vibration feet or pads under the subwoofer (better control and less transmission to the structure).
• Optional: SVS SoundPath wireless adapter for the subwoofer if you want to avoid long cables.

Why this combination (summary technical)

Key Technical Specifications (Quick Take)

• Denon AVR-X2700H
  • Channels: 7.2 (capable of native 5.1 and expansion to 7.1/5.1.2).
  • Nominal Power: Specified by Denon (sufficient for medium-sized rooms).
  • Room Correction: Audyssey MultEQ (measures distance, levels, optimal crossover).
• SVS Prime Satellite (each satellite)
  • Range: ~69 Hz – 25 kHz (±3 dB).
  • Sensitivity: ~85 dB.
  • Impedance: 8 Ω.
  • Recommended amp power: 20–150 W per satellite.
• SVS Prime Center
  • 1″ aluminum tweeter, 4.5″ mid woofers (dialogue-focused response and clear midrange).
• SVS SB-1000 Pro
  • Driver: 12″ front-firing.
  • Amplifier: 325 W RMS (820+ W peak)
  • Response: 20–270 Hz ±3 dB.
  • DSP + app for remote adjustment.

Indicative budget

• Denon AVR-X2700H: mid-range (varies by offer).
• SVS Prime Satellite 5.1 kit + SB-1000 Pro: SVS Prime 5.1 + sub package (SVS sells packs and bundles). The total system (AVR + speakers + sub + cables/stands) usually comes to a mid-range approximate of $1,600 – $2,400 depending on offers and whether you buy individually or in a bundle. (Prices fluctuate on Amazon; check the product pages for your region before purchasing.)

Placement and adjustment recommendations (important)

1. Ideal room size: sala mediana — por ejemplo entre 12–25 m² (≈130–270 ft²). In very small rooms, satellites may be too powerful without treatment; in very large rooms, you may need larger front speakers or an additional subwoofer.
2. General placement 5.1
   • Front L/R: at ear level ~2–3 m from the listening point, separated from each other by ~2–3 m (angle 22–30° to the listening point).
   • Center: just below or above the screen (aligned with the axis of the ear) pointing at the listener.
   • Surrounds: on the sides slightly behind the listening point (±90–110°).
   • Subwoofer: Try corner crawling (moving the subwoofer around the perimeter) to find the most balanced bass; avoid installing it in corners without EQ, as this can increase resonances.
3. AVR Settings
   • Execute Audyssey MultEQ (place the microphone in 6–8 positions according to the manual) so that the AVR calculates levels, delay and crossover. I recommend crossover in 80 Hz (standard value) if you use small and sub-power satellites; adjust if Audyssey suggests another value.
   • Use the sub app (SB-1000 Pro) to fine-tune phase and level from the listening point.

Practical tips and final suggestions

• If the room is large (>25 m²): Consider larger front speakers (e.g. SVS Prime Tower or SVS Prime Bookshelf + larger sub / or additional sub).
• If the budget is somewhat more containedthe Klipsch Reference Theater Pack 5.1 It is an alternative with a lot of presence and good price/value (more “cinematic” due to its tonal signature).
• Cables and connectionsDon't skimp on HDMI 2.1 if you're going to be using consoles/PCs in 4K120/8K; for speaker cables, a medium-quality (14–16 AWG) cable is sufficient for typical distances.
• Acoustic treatmentpanels at the first reflection point and some treatment on the first side reflection improve clarity and soundstage much more than changing speakers.
• Test and listenAfter the auto-calibration, test with familiar content and adjust some mild EQ if necessary (light EQ if Audyssey did a good job).
