Hello. I have just installed 4 B&W in ceiling speakers to go with my M1s in a small dedicated room. 5.1.4.
I’m wondering if I have the overheads positioned too wide.
Room is 3.1m wide, and surrounds are fixed to the wall meaning that in practice the tweeters of the speakers are about 2.75m apart.
Dolby recommends overheads should be spaces between 0.5 and 0.7x the width of the rears. Unfortunately due to joist placement that isn’t straightforward. So I have installed them 2.1m apart, which is about 0.8 of the width of the surrounds.
Problem is, I’m not really perceiving much sense of “height”. I’m now wondering if bringing them in closer together would give better separation from the surrounds.
I have a small window of time to mess about with placement before my plasterer comes and skims the ceiling. Any ideas?
