Hello all,

I am in the process of putting together a price list for equipment as I move to outfit my garage as a home theater/ game room (400SF). The plan is to use an acoustically transparent screen with speakers behind like I did in my previous basement home theater (old house). That room had CMT-340 L/C/R speakers and 170s for the rear and side surrounds. Given I am trying to do this in a garage and on a budget, would CMB-170s be sufficient as my speakers or L/C/R and surrounds? Seating will be 14' from the screen if that helps. I just think for a basic room CMT-340s are WAY overkill for the space given there are no acoustic treatments other than a large area rug. Just trying not to break the bank. I will pair them with an Onkyo TX-SR373 receiver and an HSU VTF-1 MK3 subwoofer.

Any suggestions are welcome.

John
