Hi Guys,
Was told to come here by a friend as you all maybe able to help me out with my first home theatre setup.
Ill do my best to describe what i'm trying to achieve with some crappy pictures iv drawn so you get the idea.
The setup i have is as follows:
LG 65" C9
Sony STR-DN1080
Kef E301's
Speaker Cable: Van Damme blue 2.5 (not bought yet)
Other equipment to be used with above:
Xbox one X
Sky Q
Amazon Fire stick
What i'm having trouble with at the moment is what speaker cable to choose and the position of my speakers.
Speaker setup 1 was the original idea i was going with, i was just going to put the speakers on floating shelves about ear height in each corner of the room with the centre speaker embedded in the wall between the fire and tv. I haven't had the wall built yet but its supposed to be started this Saturday. The only problem is i think it will look odd with just the centre speaker there and spoil the design of the wall. The alternative to this is to have the centre speaker above the TV but iv heard this isn't ideal? The other thing iv thought maybe a problem is having the speakers so far apart. Do the two front speakers ideally need to be closer to the tv?
Speaker setup 2 is to have the centre speaker embedded along wit the FL & FR speakers and just have the RL & RR on floating shelves. The L shaped sofa is where i will be sitting 100% of the time. The other sofa can be ignored because its only for when guests visit.
The ideal position would be to have the sofa directly in front of the tv with the 2 front speakers either side and the 2 rear speakers either side of the sofa. However the door way into the room is in the middle of the room directly opposite the tv.
Please can you advise me on the positioning of the speakers and if the equipment iv got is good enough for the size of the room and good enough for a decent setup.
Cheers.
