Hi all,
Many thanks for the recommendations of what Amp and Speakers to buy in my £500 budget. I now have them, in a box, ready to be set up (I had a massive flood in the meantime, so I had to stop everything and deal with that - entire kitchen floor has been up - thankfully the tiler is coming on Thursday, which should be the end of that disaster).
I bought these speakers - Wharfedal DX1SE: Wharfedale 5.1 Speaker Package
I've attached my room layout. Its basically 2.4m across, and 3.25m from sofa to TV and the sofa is 2.2m wide. One side of the room is totally open, aside from the chimney breast wall which book-ends the wall with the TV.
I'd really appreciate, firstly, some recommendations as to where I should place the speakers, and some suitable wall brackets I can buy to mound them to. I'm really trying to keep the budget down though.
If I can get away with putting the fronts all on the TV Unit - Its 1.50m wide, and the TV itself is 1.10m wide on it - then that would be great. But if its going to ruin the sound quality, I'm happy to put all 4 on stands.
I guess the 2 rears simply go at the sides of the sofa, facing forwards?
Sorry, I'm totally new to all this. I will try to do a search for guides, but so far the 2 I've seen were for systems totally out of my class, so didn't make too much sense to me.
