We have an unfinished basement we are going to build out for a host of uses, and we're designing a space for theater use. It's not a purist dedicated theater room, but I'm trying to find the balance between performance and the desire for a casual but big place for a bunch of people watching at once.
The attached image shows the rough order layout, and we're going to have something like an 82-85" TV with Paradigm Reference Studio 60 floor standing FR & FL speakers and a nice big Reference CC-690 center channel that will be visible right in front. I'm still working on where the sub will go.
Here's the catch, we don't really have a good place for wall mounted side or rear speakers, as there's going to be a kitchen with an island bar that some people could sit behind the sectional to watch. So, we need to go with in ceiling speakers for everything but the front.
Using some directional speakers or careful placement of the speakers anywhere along the ceiling, could I get an overhead setup that would give us the ability to give the feeling of a lower-level setup perhaps through directional ceiling speakers? I'm up for 2, 4, 6 or 8 speakers if needed, but they'd have to go in the ceiling. Thanks!
I'd really appreciate any help!
