I have the following items I am in the process of installing:

- NAD T758 V3
- Rotel RMB1095 (next weekend when I collect it)
- B&W DM 603 S2 Fronts
- B&W LCR6 S2 Centre
- B&W DM 602 S2 Rears
- B&W M1 (Atmos)
- Monoprice Monolith THX 12" Subwoofer

I will upgrade the speakers at some point, but the room layout will stay the same.

I have a 'through lounge' which is about 8m long x 4m wide with the sofa halfway down the room at the 4m point, in an alcove of sorts. I want to place the rear speakers on the side walls of the back half of the room, about 2m into the room. The M1's will be used as Atmos (for now).

So my questions are:

1. Will the M1's be okay on the side walls firing down? Would they be positioned about 1m in front of the MLP?
2. Space at the front for the sub is a struggle. How would it fare half way down this room, just behind the sofa to one side?
3. What's the ideal height for the rear speakers please?
4. If I run the 5 base layer off the Rotel and the M1 off the NAD, will DIRAC sort out the levels etc? I've literally never touched DIRAC before so unsure.
5. Would adding a second sub help in anyway?

Any thoughts or input massively appreciated.

Thanks in advance
