We are waiting for our new house to be built and I'd like to start thinking about what I need for the lounge. It's not going to be a fully fledged cinema room, but I would like to make it work really well for watching movies. I've been having some challenges in our current house with speaker placements so I just want to get it right in the new house. Unfortunately I cannot get cables put in before the house completes so these will all need to be installed afterwards.
Here is the lounge dimensions and layout. 19'9" x 12'7" or 6.04m x 3.85m (sizes approximate).
We plan to put a sofa on the left, above the door (shown) which will be the MLP. We are not sure at the moment whether this will be a corner sofa or whether we will have another sofa opposite the patio doors (maybe by the window - not sure yet).
My current system comprises of the following:
In the current house I can some D-Line mini trunking running along the top of the skirting which allows me to run the speaker cable (some cheap stuff off amazon) around the room. I don't mind this by may consider putting it through the walls in the new house.
What recommendations are there for speaker placements and other improvements I can implement?
