I just purchased a yoga studio and the main room needs a major sound upgrade from a lone Bose Soundtouch. The dimensions of the room are 24'x60' 1,466sqft, 14,660 cuft. The whole floor is textured mats with one wall (teachers wall) all mirrors. Dropped ceiling. The teachers typically teach along one long wall with the students spread out versus the teacher being at the long end of the room.
Since I just purchased the business I want to keep costs to a minimum. I figure the main investment and design the whole system starts around the amp. Which is my main question for this forum. The little research I found led me to the Yamaha RX596 (or RX V596). Which begs the question how is the sound going to function in the room, music of surround the the RX596 only being 2 channels. My ultimate goal is to have the audio in the room as immersive as possible. I'm looking at including Spatial in time to allow for designed 3D audio.
Speakers seem easier in some respects than an amp to replace, but I'm open to opinions if that is backwards. If I do this build in phases Phase 1 is getting a clean powerful enough amp and a surround configuration of speakers, likely in ceiling. Phase 2 would be adding speakers if need be, adding a sub, and if more power is needed a second amp.
In case it matters the audio input will be a line in from a bluetooth receiver mostly. If we get audio made for special events I'd try to get the files in DSD.
What are your thoughts for Amps?
Thanks
