Hi, new to this forum.
l’ve had a ‘correct’ set up of a 5.1 system for years with the speakers being near enough head height when seated and placed correctly around seating area. However now having a ‘knock through’. Plan is to have front l + r + centre speaker at seating height but I have no where to place the surround l + r speakers other than in the ceiling (Wife wants rid of stands(she’s willing to keep the front left and right speaker and the new centre is going in the wall(plastered over) and the tv is going to be a Samsung frame(compromise on my LG oled) so the only thing visible at the front will be a tv showing art and two speakers)) I know you can get angled tweeters to direct the sound at the seating position but just wondering if any member here has such a set up and does it work? I know it will be a compromise but if it’s a really bad idea I may stick with a 3.1 set up. Also if the 5.1 set up works can I also install 2 atmos ceiling speakers or will the atmos effects just not work due to the surrounds being in the ceiling as well?
Thanks for looking.
