Speaker placement

[Phil1983]

Hi all,

I have just purchased a Panasonic TH-37PX70 and a Yamaha AV61 and was wondering if anyone can give me some advice on speaker placement.

Would the set-up below work?



Thanks!

Look, anything will work more or less. It's just how well it will work.
Having one surround speaker so close and the other so far away won't produce a particularly good sound.
If it were me, I'd get rid of the fireplace and put your screen bang opposite the main seat.
Actually if it were me I would move walls and doors to get the best experience.
I doubt either are going to be an option for you.
It's *always* a matter of compromise when it comes to the sound. Even in a dedicated home cinema.

personally i would direct it all for the main seating area!

as such angle the tv and the front 3 speakers more to that seat rather than equal to both, and then move the right rear surround to where the sub is.

id rather have 2/3 really good seats than 4/6 not getting much surround experience

may be worthwhile moving the sub up front if you can locate it with your ears in its current position
