room size

See "room sizes & shapes".

Thanks guys for the very informative replies, i'll have to keep that in mind.

Thanks for all the replies.

The room will have wood floors and the windows will have some sort of covering on them but im not sure what at this time. Might have an area rug too around the couch and table. The couch will not be in the center of the room. More like 14-16 feet back from the TV wall. Bass traps are not going to happen ever in this kind of room lol.

I guess my main concern is where to mount the rear QS8's I have heard on the celing and on the back wall. Honeslt I think I would prefer them on the back wall but can go on the celing as well. I have WAF on both locations.

So where should I put them??? The back wall is like 3 or so feet from the couch.

if the WAF is REALLY a factor, you can custom order your QS8s to match your wall color, just send a sample into Axiom.

Heh she already said she wanted the qs8's to be white if they are on the ceiling and the fronts black. I would rather have the rears black as well....if they were on the wall they would probably end up black. I just want them to sound good....it doesnt have to be perfect...but something good.

If its the back wall I would want to run the wire now and have it hanging out because of the way that arcehd openeing is built. It would be a royal pain to run the wire or even pop it out of the wall after the fact.

Based on your diagram, my opinion is that you will not lose much - if anything - by putting them on the back wall, and that such an arrangement will be far more aesthetically pleasing. That's what I'd do.

Aesthetically I would like them on the rear wall as well...but not if they would not sound right back there. I am kinda in a hard place because I cant "test" different spots.

If they are on the back wall how far appart should they be and how far up the wall. The ceiling is 11' and the top of the arch is at 8' and is 13' wide. The couch will be centered on that arched openeing about 3' in front of it.

Well, I'd get them out of the corner as much as possible and put them high enough that you're not going to bump your head when you walk by them (in what appears to be a relatively high traffic corridor). They're really pretty forgiving.

I am thinking definetly up at least 8'. Maybe a foot or two wider than the couch? If its like 8' then I would put them 10-12' appart?

Don't go nuts either way.

Unless you have really tall friends, 7' high will probably be plenty (and a bit better sonically).

Same with the width; I'd just pick a pleasing point on each side of the arch and not too far into the corner. Really, as long as you've got some symmetry going, you should be fine.
