Hello all
Wanted to ask for your opinion on something. I have currently a 5.1.2 system with a Marantz 1608 AVR, Dali Fazon SAT as surround, front and center speakers, a Minx X301 Sub and a couple of Dali E60 as Atmos speakers.
The issue I have is that right now my surround speakers are in the rear wall at approx 1.70m height, facing the MLP but more than 2,5 m away from the center of the coach. Unfortunately I can not have them to both sides of the MLP and slightly behind as ideally should be, don't want to consider stands. Also one of them is partially hidden by big plant that is hard to reallocate and finally my coach has high backs and my ears are not directly reached by the surround speakers. Therefore I need to really bump the surround speakers and even with that I feel the sound is not right, feels a bit disconnected. This is why I am considering removing them from their current placement and use in ceilings instead (also the aesthetics of the surrounds are not very wat-friendly to say the least)
Unfortunately moving the coach is not an option because of I have some furniture in the back wall
I know experience will not be the same compared to in wall or standing speakers but thinking now about in ceiling but maybe would be an improvement nevertheless. in this case where would you place them relative to the MLP? Also which speakers would you recommend? another pair of E60 would be the natural choice I guess but any other recommendations?
I also read that in ceiling surrounds with atmos speakers ruins a bit the effect of the latter but I am not inclined to remove them. I guess is better to have something not optimal that not having anything at all?
Would love to hear your thoughts, thanks in advance.
Attached you can see an scheme of my set up including the new in ceilings, existing surrounds are not shown. On the right there is an open space and there is lots of glass around the area.
