Hey guys. I hate starting an advice thread, but you guys know more than I do so I need some education.
I am in the process of finishing my theater and once I get the projector and new receiver wired up and installed I'll begin building my speakers.
I want to go with full size statements for my mains due to the fact that they will double as a 2.0 music setup. After looking at placement in my room they will work, but since they have to be at least 18" from the wall they will be close to my listening position of about 10'. They will work well at that position, but the receiver I'm getting supports the new DSX sound mode that can use wide speakers. I'm going to use monitor statements for the wide and height channels and according to the Audyssey site the height/width speakers need to be the same/similar to the mains/center. I'm going to use the 2rcc so that will be fine.
What I'd like to know from you guys is should I go all out with the big statements with a 13' wide room and 90" wide screen or should I just do monitors all around for a more even soundstage as well as placement flexibility? I really want the big ones for music without a sub, but I don't want them to make width/height speaker placement impossible.
What do you guys think? I have to use the following diagram to make sure I get the placement correct.
