5.1 arrange on small room - advice

Hi there , i'm new and this is my first post.

I have a small room and just bought 22W FULL HD LCD screen for my computer and I watch HD movies on it.

I really want to enjoy the 5.1 audio but i'm not sure i'll get it right beacuse the view distance and the speakers positioning.

This is sort of a sketch of my room:




I dont own any 5.1 this is just where i'll put them if i buy one.

The problem is i think the view distance is too far for 22" only.
Another problem is the surround speakers very close to the wall and the right one is on the corner , i dont sure if it's affect the sound quailty.

I want to buy the Logitech X540 if it's matter.

Thank you in advance!

is that the only way round you can have the furniture? Looks ok if you cant change it..at least the speakers are balanced, if not the position in relation to the wall

Re: 5.1 arrange on small room - advice

cant move furniture...

from 2 meters the 22" looks pretty small compare to the massive sound i'm gonna get...

but i think i'll get them anyway, so main question is does the postion of the right surroind on the corner can hurm the quality of the sound?

and is it true that surround speakrs should be 1 meter above the head?

thank you.

Re: 5.1 arrange on small room - advice

surround speakers should be higher, THX spec here
THX Home Theater 5.1 Speaker System Layout

you may get some feel of imbalance when you set up the system, you just have to tweak the settings to improve imaging.
