Greetings!
I'm planning to set up a 4.2.0 (or possibly 6.2.0) home cinema (with compromises) in the livingroom for the family to enjoy. Speaker placement is 100% non-flexible due to consideration of a certain family member who is less inclined to appreaciate high fidelity when speakers conflict with decorating, so I have to work with this in mind. I've included schematics of the room (made in MS Paint ) to give you an idea. Blue squares are L+R and purple is the screen. My questions/concearns are below the picture. I greatly appreciate any input you might have!
- I'm planning to go for Monitor Audio Soundframe 3 for surrounds. These speaker have a "pivotable tweeter" (not sure how pivotable it is..) The speakers will need to be mounted on wall, diagonally behind main seating area with center of speaker at precicely 2 meters (78 inches) high, this would put the tweeter slightly below that point. Will this be sufficient for decent enough surround effects? Keep in mind that I'm not building a reference cinema by any means..
- Would there be any point in installing surround back channels? (marked with "?"-marks). They would have to be mounted all the way up in the corners in the back, aprox. 2,35 meters (92,5 inches). These speakers I could angle towards listening area, but the distance might be too far away from the couch?
- Choice of receiver: I'm limited to a slimline design (again a huge compromise, I know), and in my country only the Marantz Cinema 70s seems a fit. This product seems severely lacking in room correction from my point of view, so I'll be looking into some external form of room correction, hidden out of sight, at least for the subs. Would this be a feasible way of achieving good enough correction?
Again, any suggestions or input is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
