Hi everybody !
Here's the deal, i'm going to install a home theater in my country house, i have a room of 8 meters long, 4,35 wide and 3,50(maybe a little more) height.
I have the following :
Marantz: SR4600 A/V Receiver
Sony: TA-VE700 a/v amplifier (but i'm not going to use it since the Marantz is newer) ST-SE 700 tuner CDP-XE500 cd player DVP-NS305 dvd player DVP-NS32 " " SS-E 455V main speakers SS-CN55 central speaker SS-SR55 surround speakers SA-W505 subwoofer KV-32 or 36 WEGA (i'm not sure because i'm not at that house right now but its a good tv)
So i would really appreciate your comment's about this, I would also like to get manuals for all my speakers (except the sub) because i don't find them nowhere (neither in the house or the web). and what do you recommend for my surround back speakers as i have to buy ones but i would like something somehow "near" my actual speakers or better.
Also what do you say about if i connect the cd player to the a/v receiver via the digital out port? i've never used it is really much better?
Sorry for the long text but i would really appreciate Expert help Thank's and if some of you plan to visit Portugal, send a mail before and pay me a visit !!!

Welcome to Agoraquest! There don't appear to be manuals for the speakers listed; however, I can provide the specifications for the SS-CN55 and SS-SR55 speakers. Is that what you are after?
You should definitely try connecting your cd player to the a/v receiver via the digital out port, because you may notice an improvement. How much of an improvement, I can't say.

Thank you very much !!!that was like the final piece of the puzzle, now i can start looking for some surround back speakers that approach those specs.
after the remodelling works are done in that room i'll place a picture in the forum. i'm now wondering if i should get a lcd 16:9 projector to really turn the room in a cinema.
thank's again jehill, your help was extremely important.
