Hi All,
I'm planning a new room, something along the lines of the picture I've attached. I'm trying to juggle TV, Fire and Speaker positioning to come up with a plan.
Mine would be slightly different, the edge of my room would be the right side of the fireplace and the TV on the left, with the window behind. So effectively half Tv/window, half chimney breast.
I want to get an Atmos 5.1.2 set up installed, front height ceiling speakers and rears are no problem , but I don't know what to do at the front.
I'm thinking of getting a 50inch TV that will sit on the shelf, so I can't work out how to position a centre speaker.
I also have an AV Receiver to hide.
I'm willing to trade some sound quality to achieve a minimalist look, it's a second room, but I think once I get used to the 4k TV versus my existing old 1080p projector might mean it start to become the main room so I want it to be fairly good
Things I'm thinking about
- Hide everything in the cabinet below and use material to cover it. Not sure if this will just look a bit cheap and I can't find any examples.
Actually as I'm writing this that is starting to sound good. I guess I could cover the whole length in some kind of acoustically transparent material and hide some boofshelfs for l/r, a centre , sub and amp. Basically a giant soundbar!!
Anyone have any thoughts, pitfalls, or an example of a similar setup
