I'm worried the 1050 and the system I'm planning will prove undersized. The room is 14 by 18, with an eight foot ceiling that rises to peak of almost 11 feet. But here's why I'm worried: the room only has three walls. One of the 18 foot sides is completely open, leading to a room with other large openings to the rest of the house. (the 14X18 room is an addition to the living room). The sound system would be pointed the long way in the 14X18 room. I'm looking at the 1050, along with Paradigm Phantoms, which have three drivers and 91db in room sensitivity, a 12-in Paradigm powered sub, two Paradigm Atoms in the rear, a one of the smaller Paradigm center speakers. The main listening position would be in the middle of that 14 foot length. The room will be carpeted with couches and drapes. I wouldn't be worried if not for the missing side wall. Will the set-up I described be adaquate? I want decent home theater for this amount of money, but stereo music is very important. Will the Phantom mains driven alone with the 1050 sound OK. What about with the sub for stereo music? This set up is at the limit of what I can afford. Given the room I'm dealing with and my desire for decent sound, am I better off waiting until I can get into a higher price range? Any advice and opionions will be appreciated. I've been reading this site and it's nice to see all the well-informed, helpful exchanges. Thanks.
