In Reply to: Comparisons to RCA RT2500 HT system? posted by Aurelio S. on May 16, 2001 at 10:36:11:
In process of purchasing HT system.The most CONVENIENT room for my HT is also, I'm afraid, the worst.
You may want to sketch this out first...
- The room is rectangular, approximately 20x25 with a cathedral ceiling.
- The North and South walls are the short walls.
- The East and West walls are the long walls.
- There is a fireplace on the east wall near the NE corner.
- Just next to the fireplace on the east wall is the open entrance to the dining room.
- In the SE corner of the room is the corner entertainment center.
- Directly in the middle of the South wall is a doorwall to outside.
- Starting in the middle of the West wall and wrapping around to the middle of the north wall is a wraparound sofa that seats 6 comfortably.
SOF prohibits me from rearranging the room, so I must work with what I got. Here's what I was thinking of doing...
- Mounting the main/front speakers at the top of the south wall in the SE and SW corners.
- I was thinking of mounting the surrounds at the top of the north wall in the NE and NW corners.
- The center channel would go on top of the TV in the SE corner.
- The subwoofer would go in the NW corner behind the sofa (the sofa curves so there is some space there).
I am new to HT and am looking for any advice on this placement since this is not a typical setup. I've typically seen the surrounds behind the viewers and the TV/mains/center in front of them. I am especially concerned with the center channel and surrounds not being in there typical spots and how this might affect perception.
I have had one suggestion to place the center channer speaker on top of the mantle above the fireplace but leave everything else where I stated - but this doesn't make sense to me.
Please help before I start drilling! ;-))
