I am in the beginning stages of setting up my Home Theater/Family Room (no dedicated theater for me:frowning: )
I have a built in cubby for my future RPTV. The cubby measures about 60" wide and has built-in book cases on either side. At the top of each book case the builder had pre-wired for speakers. Please check out the pictures
I will be purchasing a 57" Toshiba Cinema Series 57HDX82 and moving all my gear into a small closet at the rear of the family room. (see floor plan)
Rear speakers are prewired near the ceiling at the rear of the room. The room is open to a breakfast nook and the kitchen.
I am looking at a set of Energy Take 5 speakers and plan to upgrade down the road. I was wondering where I should place the front left and right speakers?
1st Option:
If dimensions work out (with the 57HDX82)I could place the left and right speakers on a stand or shelf in the cubby on either side of the TV at the desired height. Is this too close to the TV?
2nd Option:
I could use speaker stands in-between the cubby and the built in book cases at the desired height. This of course will intrude some into the room
3rd Option:
Place speakers on top shelf of each built-in book case. I believe that front left and right speakers placed that high would not be ideal.
I would love to hear some comments on my speaker placement choices.
I only have two pictures right now. A cleaned up floorplan and a straight on shot of the front wall.
