Hi.
I bought an RCA home Threatre System and now I am confused how to set it up. My main use will be for tv but I want to set it up for listening to cds.
My tv is in a corner cabinet: http://www.sauder.com/productpage.as...Corner%5FUnits
When facing it there is a wall to the left and balcony doors to the right. The main seating area is about 15' in front of the tv. I have a vcr and dvd player and will be getting a cdchanger.
1. I can put the centre channel above or below the tv. If I put it above can the speakers sit on the shelf too, or must they be farther apart?
2. Will the receiver generate too much heat to have it on the very bottom shelf. There is only about 2" clearance on the sides and back but lots at the top.
3. If I don't add the rear speakers at this time will it make much difference to the sound?
4. Where should the subwoofer be placed. Does it really matter? I've seen so much conflicting information I can't tell. I was considering putting it in the bottom shelf. Will the vibrations affect the cabinet or the any of the components in it? I am also concerned it will bother my downstairs neighbours.
I really appreciate any thoughts you can give me. I have been to numerous sites on the net and get conflicting info on this. One thing I never realized is how ridiculously expensive speaker stands are.
I look forward to your opinions. Thanks a bunch
