So here's some pictures of my living room (i know it's small). I will be moving into a house with a larger living room but in the mean time this is what i'm having to work with and trying to figure out how to do it with optimal sound/viewing...sadly the most optimal place to put the tv (left side in the layout picture) has a small heater on the bottom ...which would mean a) i could never use the heater or b) I risk a fire hazard with all the wires in front of the heater.
So as the current set up is right now..I run into the issue of how i want to mount the surrounds. Theoretically the SR speaker could be placed directly to the side of the listener or behind. However the SL speaker has issues as there is no corner wall, so the only way I could make the speaker face the side of the listener rather than behind is if I use a ceiling mount. Although with my ceiling not sure how difficult that would be. Anyway take a look tell me what you would do?
