I need a bit of help from the audio gurus here--
Two semi-related questions that will help me decide on rear speakers for my 5.1 system (room is too shallow and not laid out well for 7.1).
I'm going with the paradigm millenia 20s for LCR speakers due to space constraints and their high WAF. They are going on a wall that used to be a bookshelves and there are still bookshelves flanking the wall where the TV is, and any speaker sticking out more than 7-8" when mounted will be met with severe spousal disapproval.
So the questions are about the rear speakers:
1. The back of the wall is mostly covered in the center by built-in bookshelves and flanked on the outer edges by windows. Will ADP speakers work well with both speakers near the center of the back wall and put within separate bookshelves? Or will there be so much reflection that the sound they produce will just turn into a huge mess?
2. If I don't go with the ADPs, I could use direct-fire speakers in the upper corners of the back wall, which would give me wider separation. However, there aren't speakers in the millenia series that are smaller than the 20s (except the 10 hybrids which don't work b/c there is brick directly behind the back wall). Any suggestions of speakers to pair with the millenia 20s if this is the preferred configuration?
thanks a ton!
