    In-wall and/or in-ceiling speakers for new home with direct-vent fireplace

    I haven't listened to them in quite some time. Until today, I thought I was going with in-wall speakers. I just ran to Best Buy but the store was a ghost town. What a shame.... I also purchased a new stud finder. It appears the builder read my mind... the studs are spaced perfectly for in-wall...

    In-wall and/or in-ceiling speakers for new home with direct-vent fireplace

    If I did something like this... http://www.klipsch.com/c-20-center-speaker With these... http://www.klipsch.com/f-30-floorstanding-speaker There would be about 18" between the tweeters.

    Robert, somehow I missed your last comment on your previous post regarding tower speakers in front of the window. The TV will be about 60-62" off the ground. Do you think tower speakers would be a better solution provided the height of the TV? I'd still have to find a solution for the center...

    In-wall and/or in-ceiling speakers for new home with direct-vent fireplace

    I just bought my first home and plan to mount my television above my direct-vent fireplace. I've been told by an inspector that the walls above a direct-vent fireplace are much like other exterior walls (no special heat considerations). Due to the shape of the room, I'm considering putting a...
