Hi, I have a HT room with very mediocre sound quality. The room was built by the previous owner and has a lot of windows and doors. The room is 16 x 18 x 12 feet. The 5 in-wall speakers are placed 7.5 feet up, above the doors and below some windows. I get lots of slap echo with these speakers. Oh, and the speakers are fairly low-end, I believe: a company called TruAudio.
I recently moved my Thiel CS2.3 and SCS-3 speakers into this room for my LCRs and the sound quality improved significantly. But my Girlfriend HATES the look of these speakers at the front of the room. Oh, and did I mention the center channel is in front of a fireplace (with a plasma above the fireplace). None of this is ideal.
So can this room be saved? Are there in-wall speakers that could excel in this environment? I haven't torn apart the walls, but I think the LCR speakers will be size limited as well. Maybe only something that can fit between existing joists (16").
Thanks for your help and/or condolences!
Greg
