Hello Everyone,
I'm moving (again) in two weeks into a new house, and the house is surround sound friendly, so I'm looking into getting my 5.1 setup back again. Let me rephrase, it's surround-sound friendliER than the last two places I lived in. First let's start off with the size. It's a perfect 18' by 18' square living room. So it works great except for one corner, the bottom-left corner.
The blue line on the top of the picture are glass doors.
The gray boxes represent the RPTV and the sub.
The brown ovals are the B&W 805s.
The blue rectangles are my sofas.
The purple lines represents hallway openings.
At the bottom left corner there is two hall way openings, but there is a wall from the left hallway that sticks out 18" into the living room. I can mount the rear-right surround speakers there, but by question is what speaker?
At first I was thinking the 800 Series SCM surround, but they're huge, and I don't want something that big sticking out where I will be walking into the hallway. So I'm thinking the 600 Series DS6 dipole speaker, or CWM650 in-wall speaker. The DS6 would just fit in that 18" of space so that it can point to the sofas. However, would dipoles really work in that tight of a space (the one angled cone would be point into the hallway, no space to reflect into the living room)? Would the in-wall CWM650 be a better choice? I asked the dealer for a recommendation, and he suggested the M1 speaker from the Mini-Theater line. I could mount those on the wall, but would that be a better choice? All help is appreciated.
