Squeezing out my budget, I am planning to purchase B&W 601 s2 (front) CC6 s2 (center) and DT Prosub 100. As for the surround I am undecided if I should get the LM1 or should I stay with another pair of 601s. My family room is 21' x 18', seating position pretty much in the middle and plan to place the surround all the way to the back. My questions are:
1. First of all, is it better to have the surround up in the back corner of the room, directly to the side of the listening position, or on the floor at the back corner? Which position will maximize surround effects?
2. With this in mind, this is how I will decide on what surround speaker I will purchase. If the surrounds are good on the floor, then I'll just come up with an extra $100 to get 601s. If it will sound better up on the wall (either corner or side), then I'll just get the LM1s.
I also have a dilemma on amp purchasing and I posted a thread on this too. Please help..
