Hi Guys,
I'm building a home cinema approx 4.4m x 5.5m and I've just got a few questions on speakers and placement. I apologise in advance in case these are newbie questions or too many.
I'm looking to buy 2nd hand speakers preferably 7.1/7.2 unless I hear otherwise. Here are my questions:
7. I read something about making all the speaker cables the same length, is this true/advisable/necessary?
Thank you in advance.

I'm building a home cinema approx 4.4m x 5.5m and I've just got a few questions on speakers and placement. I apologise in advance in case these are newbie questions or too many.
I'm looking to buy 2nd hand speakers preferably 7.1/7.2 unless I hear otherwise. Here are my questions:
- Should I be going with 7.1 or 5.1 or 9.1? How many films actually support 9?
- I have been offered some KEF 9000s for approx £150 per speaker so 1k for 7, is this a good price? Is it worth it? Any other recommendations (used)? (must be wall mount or in-wall)
- With a 4.4m x 5.5m is 1 sub enough? Any particular brands/models I should look for (again used).
- If I do go with 7.1 where am I placing these 2 extra speakers. Should they be going in between the rears and the fronts pointed towards the listening position?
- My listening position is up against the back wall, should I put the rears:
- on the back wall pointing straight over my head
- on the side wall pointing at the side of my head
- in the corner of the side and back wall angled pointing at my head
7. I read something about making all the speaker cables the same length, is this true/advisable/necessary?
Thank you in advance.
