I have started construction on my theater and now have the following situation: Where to put eveything? This is the only rm in my house that will work for the theater. the long wall is 22 ft, with 2 un-even length side walls, one being 12 ft and one being 11 ft. and oposite the long wall there is a opening of about 8 ft that opens to the downstairs foyer which is 8'x10'. On the 12 ft wall there is no window, on the 11 ft wall, there is a 4 ft window in the middle and on the 22 ft wall on the side that has no window (12 ft end) there is a 4 ft window. Here is a drawing of the layout to give you a better idea:
The wife wants to put a fireplace in here somewhere, doesn't matter where. I already have a Bell O' AR-711 audio rack which is quite tall, and my TV will be probably a Mitsubishi 55" 16:9 HDTV compatible television. I like the impact of a BIG screen, so I hate to sit on the other end of the rm, Ideally I'd like to have my couch about 6 -8 ft from the TV, placing the TV on the 12 ft. wall and putting my equipment on the opposite wall (11 ft) in the corner of the rm. The only problem is I have nowhere to put my surrounds. I plan on having everything wired through the walls, with as little wires as possible, which is 1 reason I want to stay away from stands for the surrounds. Another reason is that the never seem high enough for me. I am open to any and all suggestions. Thanks in advance for all your help, guys . . . and gals.
