Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners HT Room - Advice on Speaker Selection and Layout?

I'll mull all of this over as I wait to get the plans back from the builder/designer as the front three speakers will need to be customized to fit the space.....

I'm leaning towards putting in a 7.1.4 physical layout and then hearing what is "best" in this space with either a 7.1.2 or a 5.1.4 driven (or adding a 2ch amp for full 7.1.4). Also due to the sloping roof, the rear IC will be 2m higher than the Rear Speakers (that will also be angled down to the seated posn) - so I should get some separation???).

Thanks for all the feedback!
