When installing x4 atmos speakers what are the pros and cons of Rear 1 position over Rear 2 position
I know ideally, the rears should be a lot further back and the other side of the window, so not an option. Also there is a ceiling joist that prevents R1 from being any further back. The MLP is approx 1m from the back wall.
R1 is easier to fit, no boundary issues with rear wall but slightly in front of the MLP. R2 is just behind the MLP but would then entail having atmos speakers at different heights as the R2's would be slightly lower than the fronts.
What would be "lost" by using R1 instead of only slightly rearward R2? The distance would only be approx 2 feet between the two different positions. This would be on a 5.1 base line so no rear speakers.
Thoughts or experiences?
