Hi all,
I was hoping you could help me with speaker placement. I have just bought a pair of B&W 683's and set them up either side of my TV facing the couch, however they are a bit on the large side both physically and aesthetically (wrt to the room layout), although we may learn to live with them. They will be for 70% 2ch music, 30% TV, and possibly expanded to include 5.1 later TV later, most likely with in-wall rears, due to space requirements and it not being a dedicated HT room
However, with about half our time spent listening to music, in the kitchen/dining room area, I was wondering whether a different speaker location would be better. From my drawing, I was wondering if I should move them to either side of the patio door instead of either side of the TV. Granted I would really just be moving speaker 2, and rotating it directly towards the kitchen while also rotating speaker 1 also towards the kitchen. Both speakers being parallel to the walls. How strange will this feel when watching TV with the sound coming from the left.?..could we live with it?
Alternatively, in the future, I could get a pair of bookshelf's such as B&W 685's for the TV, and separate the TV sound from the music sound completely. Would that still work with in-wall rears as well?
thanks
Derek
