Hi,
When I first started building my HT, I wired for 5.1, but later (based on advice given here), I went to 7.1. I'm about a week or so out from drywalling and I have a question about placement of my two rear speakers.
First off, I am planning on having them at the same height as the surrounds. Normally, I like to center my speakers to a sweet spot, but I'm not sure if that would be a good idea with my setup. Basically my issue is with a rear door to my HT that goes into another room. Because of this door, I have two options:
1) Center the speakers on the wall, but because the door takes us significant room on the rear wall, the speakers would be 16" off center, leaving a spacing of 32" between terminals (probably 28" between speakers).
2) Mount the speakers off-center. One speaker would still be 16" off the center line (because of the door), but the other would be spaced about 32" off the center line. This would still leave that speaker a couple of feet from the back corner.
Any suggestions on the best approach. I go back and forth, centering is always good, but I'm concerned that they might be too close together.
