I'm thinking of getting:
2 x Polk LSi25 (left front/right front) floor standing speakers
1 x Polk LSi C (center - will be mounted on-wall right under TV)
2 x Polk LSi FX (left rear, right rear)
Room they're going in (pictured): 13' wide (the TV wall) by 20' long. I plan on placing the rears about 7' high on the wall. I plan on angling the floor standers slightly inward (pointed toward center of sofa). If you click on the pics you'll see red boxes that indicate speaker placement I'm thinking about.
I liked the LSi25's with powered 10" subs because of space concerns (don't want five total speakers if I get two subs, plus the TV - whole wall will be covered with speakers), but a few questions needing advice:
- Fronts: Are LSi25's ok, or should I consider LSi9's on-wall/stands + separate sub(s)?
- Surrounds: Do I mount my rears to the sides of the sofa, or 4' back from sofa? Most of what I read tells me optimal placement is directly to sides of seating.
- Surrounds: Do I mount LSiFX's vertically (drivers pointed left/right) or horizontally (drivers pointed up/down)? or get LSi9's and point them downward?
- Any other speakers in this class worth considering?
- What's a good A/V receiver to drive all these at 4 Ohms?
