Room will be app. 30 foot x 40 foot, with 12 foot ceiling height, so we would have 14,400 cubic feet of air to move, maybe a little less. Looking at the following Axiom gear to do this:
4 x M22 for front (2 x left + 2 x right)
2 x VP150 for center (2 x center)
4 x QS8 for surround (2 x surround + 2 x rear surround)
1 x EP600 for bass.
Seating for 48 souls. Screen size is 14 foot x 7 foot. I want to mount the front speakers on the wall. They could all be behind the screen (if using perforated) or top/bottom for center and to the side for left/right, if going with standard non-perf material. Screen will be curved to radius of throw distance (app. 40 feet).
QUESTIONS:
(a) Is the above listed Axiom speaker-line up sufficient for the size of this large room? Each speaker would be powered by 200 Watts of OUTLAW amp.
(b) If not sufficient, how would you change the line-up?
(c) Tower speakers, they have to remain on the ground, right? I mean, they should not be mounted by bracket to the wall?
(d) Any other brand of preamp/processor/amp other than OUTLAW I should look into, to get similar price/performance rewards as with the Axiom loudspeakers?
Thanks!
