Hi,
I have been dreaming of a surround sound system for years and now just planning it for a new rear extension which is open plan kitchen, diner and lounge, room is long and thin. Problem I have is there is nowhere to mount surround speakers in ideal positions having been doing some reading.
I was thinking of a 5.1 setup using these speakers which seem to get great reviews Home review
And for the surround speakers it says : A final word on the design of those Silver FX surround speakers: their semi-hexagonal design and easily switchable dipole/bipole modes is a real touch for those unable to place them over the shoulders of their listening position.’
The only place I can mount the surround speakers is about 3.5m back from the sofa and about 2.6m in the air on a beam as there the wall is flush on one side and glazed on the other and didn't really want speakers on stands in middle of the room with backs showing.
Is this a complete non-starter or could it work out okay ? Be nice to have a bit of surround sound and would prefer a setup like this rather than a sound bar projecting (although read good reviews on new sonos one) and also listen to music a lot and wanted decent stereo sound for that.
Surround speakers are in red mounted on beam/plasterboard about 2.6m high.
Any thoughts/help greatly appreciated.
