To cut a long story short, I've built a room in the garden that is kind of neither here nor there in terms of what it could have been. I was originally going to use it as a workshop, but now have decided to do the best I can and make it a home theatre.
The dimension are 4.9m x 2.9m. I am just wondering what the best setup would be. My main love is 2ch hifi, but this room will be mainly used for cinema.
Now, I can either choose to go for main speakers setup along the short wall firing down the length of the room (something I've never been able to do before, and I'm aware this is usually seen as the ideal), or I can put the mains on the long wall firing across the width. Both come with pros and cons. With the speakers firing down the length, I fear they will be far too close to the side walls, especially as I want 77inch TV. With the mains firing down the width of the room, I obviously have the seating position far too close to the rear wall, but I have a lot of space either side of the speakers... And I can potentially get a very large screen!
I will be using room correction down the road.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
