Hi, I post the same question at the "Speakers Forum" but didn't get too many answers. I will try it here.
I am still in developing my basement, therefore I have the option to change the layout of the rearwall, the rearwall is about 13' wide and 7' 8" high.
1st option: Have the HT entrance in the middle of the rearwall, that means the three rear surround speakers will be about 7' above ground. Is this too high?
2nd option: Push the HT entrance close to the sidewall. That way I can lower the spearkers to any height but the rear surround speakers will only be 3' 6" apart from each other. Is this distances between the 3 speakers enough?
3rd option: Push the HT entrance to about 2' from the sidewall, then I can install the center rear in the middle and the two rear surround spearkers about 1' away from the sidewalls.
Question is which option is better for sound?
Thanks in advance
Ken
