I had this idea lately, and it started small, but has now grown into something I am definitely going to do soon, but I wanted to put stadium seating in my home theater room. My basement is more rectangular rather than square, and i have not been happy with my room layout, but felt it would do for now...i had my couch and loveseat in an L-shape, with my entertainment system kiddie cornered, but my rear surround speakers were behind my loveseat, which meant people on the couch did not get the full surround experience....anyway, to make a long story short, i want to move my entertainment center more centered, and basically put the loveseat directly behind the couch, but on an 8 foot wide and two or three foot high box...i would put steps on it and some rope lighting around the box to add that "at the theater" environment....i already mounted my rear speakers to the wall (they used to be on speaker stands that were maybe 3.5 feet off the ground) and now they are elevated about 7 feet......I guess my questions are 1. am i wasting my time and is it silly to do and 2. will people sitting on the couch that is lower to the ground get good rear surround sound if the speakers are up higher on the wall??.....sorry to take up so much of your time reading this, but i appreciate any opinions on this....I love movies and i love my home theater, and most of my friends think it would be cool to do, but deep down probably think im insane, but hey, who cares right??...Has anyone else added stadium seating to their room, if so, please give me some tips....thanks again
