Sheesh
. Get a couple ladders or something, and set em up temp wise, and move em about to see for yourself. Your ears! Your room! Your family. Do it how you hear it and like it best!
If the majority of opinions here is that the rears in your house should be on the ceiling, two and a quarter ft off each side wall and fifteen and three quarters off the display
Would you actually put them there?
So much of this what to get, and where to put it, business is common sense and compromise.
Unless youre into a full on no holds barred, HT deal, budget, da wife, esthetics, and the hardware & room itself will indicate what can and can not be done . Normally.
Thank goodness for the Multi Eq, Auto sound gizmos now incorporated into so many receivers and processors . If one doesnt care for fiddling with the setup personally.
For myself, I do like a more difuse rear sound stage, although the image itself directs sound effects too. Im not too keen on seeing a fella point his gun in one direction and the bullet suddenly zip off into some other one. Hes pointing it down and it winds up ricocheting off something above my head and behind me. Thats just weird! And wrong.
Its disconcerting too like not having your channels aligned properly, and/or reversed! I would have to stop the film and redo the setup. I couldnt watch it like that.
My main system is a 5.1 setup. My Rears are about a foot or so above my head (or less) and just a bit off the side walls. Theyre also only a few feet (<5ft?) behind my listening position in a 14 x 20 x 8.3 closed in room. They face each other and are angled in towards my seat just slightly. Maybe 10 degrees. The display sets on the 14ft. wall.
Were I to add another speaker for 6.1 which I might do, Id elevate it a few inches more above the height of the current pr of rear speakers and Id aim for a difuse loud speaker at that position and likely mount it to the rear wall. Placement otherwise would be problematic due to doors and entry ways . (see above compromises)
For fly overs in either direction, its very cool sounding. As theyre close to ear level the bullets and bombs seemingly land appropriately too well, believeably so any way.
My rear sound stage has yet to cause me to lose the suspend disbelief syndrome we enact during film viewing due to how the speakers are currently located.
I previously kept rears right at ear level . I prefer them slightly elevated.
And thats the ticket for anyone anyhow . What exactly do you like? Want? Get a couple step ladder, chairs, etc., and position the rears temporarily and play a movie!
Move em around to see for yourself, what you like, and where they can reside permanently what distance, height, etc.
Or just pick a spot and live with it!
It doesnt matter what the prospectus is here . Its all about your likes and dems the true choices you have now, pardner! Enjoy!
