My room depth is 22' and I sit about 10 from the sound stage.
Width wise, the surrounds would be about 13' each from the MLP.
See attached floor plan.
I'm concerned about this distance for typical stand mount surrounds and looking for your opinions and suggestions.
Given the distance...
I'm pre wired for 9.2 to future proof if I needed rears, and may have to go with wireless active subs based on the acoustics.
Someone here said "towers in all positions"
The surrounds are quite far from the MLP and would have to be large enough to be effective.
Rears, if used, have the same...
Shipping here would probably double the price and I'd get a wack from customs (if the even passed thru and didn't end up as "personal property".) Things have been known to mysteriously disappear here.
I'll check with them none the less and possible get some ideas, but I'll probably end up...
Thanks, but I'm not sure what you mean by
"spending money on eq. that would need a different environment."
My house is here and I be put in the ground here as well.
Please explain.
Thanks for input on towers for surrounds. $$$$
Now according to Sam in a prior post you won't be able to...
Mains sure, rears sure, but I'm not using any. :rolleyes:
Highs, Yea, right. I don't think so, even if I could get them here.
Quite honestly I was expecting more informative responses from this forum other then "Tower speakers in all positions.".
Maybe I should have headed this "New system...
No such luck finding such exotic style speakers here.
Hell, I've never heard of them till you posted.
Interesting look though.
Just what the Ms. needs, more glass to clean. :angry:
Thanks for the response though.
Back in the good ole days in Houston my setup included a "new" Yamaha RXV-1, 2 pair of Pioneer 6 way's from VN, a pair of mismatched subs and centers and surrounds located as highs.
How was I to know, fresh from the paddies?
Mismatched as the were, and no auto room eq. or SPL everything was...
When I built this house here I bought a spool of 50m 12ga. wire and ran it inside flat pvc conduit under the floor tiles as there are no carpet or basements here.
I knew where the sound stage would probably be and started from there for surrounds, rears and subs.
I ran additional lines up the...
Another tip.
If you decide to run conduit, it's pretty damn flexible and often times long runs can be made without 90's. If you must make the bends, use 45's vs. 90's or least "sweep" 90's (or 2 x 45's) to achieve the same results.
Munch away if ya wanna.
Staying mostly in TX. I just finished a house build here in Thailand and will be looking for some suggestions on avr/speaker combo's based on the room design and construction materials used.
See ya soon..
