Hey all, I am finally upgrading my 5.1 to 7.1 and possibly 7.2 in the near future. I currently have Sony satellite speakers mounted high and angled toward the viewing locations. I will be moving to in-wall speakers for the fronts and rears, and thought I could run in-walls for the sides, but the header panel above the picture window is not going to be an easy install. My question is, can I use in-wall for fronts and rears and in-ceiling rounds for the surrounds? The room is 28' long by about 13' across and the tv viewing is along the long axis of the room. The main seating areas are about 14' from the fronts and 12' from the rears (which will both be mounted high).
Also, about the 6" in-walls and 8" in-walls, which should be up front? I've read that the bigger ones need to be on the opposite side of the room as the subwoofer (in my case the sub is up front). Does it matter which go where? And if I'm going to go round in-ceiling for the sides, what size (6" or 8")? Everything is being powered by my new Sony STR-DN850. Thanks!
