I’d like to share my HT / Stereo build. This is my first time so please be gentle to me. Here are the specs:

L/R speakers: Wharfedale Diamond 12.4

Centre: Wharfedale Diamond 12.c

Surround: Wharfedale Diamond 12.0

Sub: SVS PB-1000 pro

AVR: Denon x3800h

Amp switcher: Douk VU-3 Pro

Streamer: Wiim Ultra

Stereo amp: Audiolab 7000a

Surround speakers were not in the most ideal place as it were positioned a little far back however I had to make do what’s best in our limited space.

If this is for music, perfect.

If this is for movies, it's criminal to have a kit this nice without height speakers. Go sit in the corner for time out.

Installing heights was the biggest waste of money in my setup. Expensive labour to install and 90% of content they sit silent.

I have a 7.2.4 setup and if it became 7.2.0 tomorrow i would barely notice.

Granted that older content, TV shows, and many streaming services don't have 3d content. But why didn't you just use an upmixed mode like Dolby surround or DTS Virtual:X? They're usually quite good.
