Rear surround 7.1 speaker height - 12/04/06 04:40 PM
Is it bad to put the rear speakers about a foot higher than the side surrounds? I drilled all the holes last night and fished some string through in prep for the cables arriving which I FINALLY ordered on Saturday...
My side surrounds are constrained to the top of the QS series to be at 6' high because of a soffit.
I will have a riser in the back, and according to my diagrams, the front row will be able to "see" the speakers, but the speakers in real life might be blocked by the massive la-z-boy recliners that I own which may be on the riser. I don't want the front row to suffer.
Questions:
1. Would it be a big deal for the front row not to be able to see the bottom woofer on the rear QS8s but be able to see the rest of the speaker?
2. Do you think I need to raise them up a foot to ensure 100% that the front row will be able to hear the rear speakers clearly. This would make the rear speakers a foot higher than the sides.
Thanks in advance.
