Hi,
I have a new room (14x18x7.5) where the rear of the room doubles as a hallway, and a smallish side room is fully attached. It is something of an inverted T shape, save for one side of the T is larger than the other.
The net impact is I can't put my surrounds on the wall beside the listening position in anything of a normal fashion.
My choices are:
1 - Ceiling mount behind the listener, about 5' apart
2 - Wall mounted assymetrically, wiht one surround 7' or so from the listener, and the other 4' or so.
Number two is more viable from a wife appeasement standpoint, but I'm not sure if I can compensate with the assymetry with a receiver settings (cambridge 540R if it matters)
Finally, in either of these cases, would switching to a dipole help? I can get matched dipoles at the moment to replace my directs if it would help.
Thanks for any tips!
Pete
