Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions 7.1 channel speaker plcmnt in a fairly large area?

Spence, I think that I've followed your description and picture and the only thing that I'd suggest would be a bit wider separation for the back surrounds. If they'll be about 13' behind the listening area, they could well be separated by a similar 12-13', to allow for situations in which they'll be carrying different sounds(e.g. through use of DPLIIx on 2 or 5 channel material), and so that there's enough separation for the difference to register at the listening area.

pmbuko, thanks for assistance in posting the photo.

JohnK? Thanks for the advice. I'll be moving each of the mounts for the rear speakers to the next wall cavity, which will give me about a 12' seperation between the two.

I don't want to go too much more than that as it would place one speaker close to the cold air return and I'm trying to avoid conducting sound through the heating system if possible (I don't have the cash to go all out with any type of sound deadedning materials other than R19 in the walls and ceilings).

Thanks again!

Spence
