You got a 9.2 receiver and a 7.4.1 Atmos configuration. So your installer sold you a 4 channel add-on amp to power the speakers unaccounted for by your receiver. That means you have 2 unused channels of power. That’s all I see wrong with what you were sold…but if it sounds little better than a Bose Lifestyle system, something is amiss. Incorrect setup and calibration or an extremely adverse acoustic environment are possibilities. Let them spend some more time dialing it in before you decide. The gear is certainly capable of producing very good performance.
What speakers for amp and Receiver
Hello, new member here. I just want to start with saying I'm just getting started with my first big sound purchase. With that said, I just bought and had installed my new speakers, receiver and secondary amp. I feel like the installer did not install this correctly as my new system does not sound much better than my last. My question is what speakers should they have put on the second amp and which go to the receiver? I bought all this at a steep discount and still went over my budget. I know it does not all match perfectly but they said it should still sound great. This is the setup i have and it's going to stay this way for a while. this is my new equipment. (Receiver) Integra 9.2 DRX5.4, (Secondary amp) Bowers & Wilkins Amplifier CDA-4D 4-Channel Compact Distribution, (FL&R) Focal Omada N3 3-Way Floor standing Loudspeakers, (Center) Focal Omada Center 2-Way Center Channel Speaker, (Surrounds) Focal 300IW6 White 2-Way In-Wall Loudspeaker, (Rears) Focal 100IW6 White In-Wall 2-Way Loudspeaker, (Atmos) 4- Focal 100ICW6 White In-Wall/In-Ceiling 2-Way Coaxial Loudspeaker, and 1 SVS PB-2000 Pro Premium Black Ash Subwoofer. Any advice is apricated. :)
