Subwoofer advice for my space

Building out the audio setup on step at a time. Currently just running a pair of KEF Q1 Metas — need that bass pretty bad right now :)

Looking mostly at the SVS PB-1000 pro but I am wondering if the volume of my space necessitates something like the SVS PB-2000 pro instead.

Open to all thoughts and opinions, thanks!

Upgrading a budget 1080p - 3.1 system

Here is my budget basement home theatre I am looking to upgrade. Ishares the space with a small gym setup to the right. Currently it includes:

-Epson Home Cinema 725HD

-110" diy screen (fabric from Amazon on an MDF frame)

-A cheap 5.1 Sony speaker system without the side speakers installed.

All in, probably cost $500 to setup a decade ago.

I want to upgrade to a 4k projector and the upgrade cascade is daunting! I understand a 4k projector means a 4k receiver which requires new speakers.

A couple questions:

-Is it worth it to attempt a 5.1.2 system in a room that's open on one side like this?

-Has anyone put their L/R speakers in the corner?

-Are the wider polk speaker tower worth it instead of the narrower towers?

Open to other comments/thoughts.

To Use the Pre-Outs or not?

I have an Anthem MRX 1140 I have a bunch of different amps, I have a AudioControl Architect model T1160, I also have 2 Triad PAMP4 100.

My speakers are all Triad Bronze in wall.

Would you use the pre-outs ok the Anthem or use the built in Amplifier?

My thought process is that the engineers built the software in the receiver with the built in AMP in mind so that’s probably the MOST optimal set up.

Is there any benefit of offloading the amp stage if the built in amp is powerful enough?

Sony Receiver help

Hey y’all,

I have a Sony STR-DN860 I just pulled out of storage. When I plug it in the light above the power button turns green, but nothing happens when I press the power button.

Any ideas???
