Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater New HT setup...any suggestions for my new setup?

Room area: 16' x 12'
front half room 8.5 feet ceiling, back half 16.5 feet ceiling
front wall plaster, left & back wall floor to ceiling glass
right side open to other rooms
ceiling and floor is concrete..highly reflective
Onkyo Integra DTR 5.2
B&W CC6 Center
Acoustic Profile Sub 10"
50% music 50% video
I was thinking of M22Ti on front and M3Ti for rears since posts have said that these are better than the surrounds and give a better punch. The size is good since the Fiancee would kill me if I get towers.
Rears are supposed to be 3 feet back from listening positions. How high should I be placing the fronts and rears since the place is reflective. How far from the front wall should the fronts be placed?
Should I be getting different models of speakers?
If the front speakers were on a shelf only 14" high will the sound be more reflective or less?

Thanks for any info;

I would get QS surrounds and put them on stands behind you.

I used to use M3's, they were very good until I heard QS4's.

hey saturn...just a thought...punch into AXIOM home theater
wizard.....try a few budget figures...then ask questions
(under 250 sq. feet)_50%movies....need qs's for effect
good luck with ur selection...19

She'd kill you if you got towers? What's the worse thing that could REALLY happen? Go for it...My wife got over it as soon as I played some of her thump thump stuff.
