Hello
Please see my future home theatre room picture. So this is my new rec room being framed out. The picture illustrates where I plan to hang a AT screen, 1:2.35 ratio. The width of the wall there is 13ft from the door on the left to the wall on the right.
My original intention was to get 3 x klipsch floorstanding ones that will be sat on the ground in the room behind this one (mechanical room). I was going to cut holes in the dry wall and basically have them sitting behind the AT screen. They wouldn't be seen and the space they take up wouldn't matter as it's in a largish room behind.
Incidently the viewing distance from this screen is about 15ft. But what I've realised now the steps are in that there isn't quite the vertical space I was expecting. So I've illustrated with the dashed red line the speaker solution that might work namely the smaller R-610F Floorstanding Speaker | Klipsch
So what I'm looking for is advice/options.
1. Should I consider getting the larger R-620F Floorstanding Speaker | Reference Series | Klipsch and placing them horizontally (seems like a bad idea) even if it's just one
2. Is it a bad idea to place the left/right/centre more in towards the centre of the screen, namely the middle 3 studs .. would that cause an adverse impact on the quality ( I am trying to get this right)
3. I could abandon this idea of having the speakers sitting in the room behind and create a full bafflewall cavity.. bit loathed to do that.. I didn't want to eat into the room just for the speakers
4. Do the speaker placement have to be very symetrical? Could say the right one be a bit more right without noticable impact?
Anything else I haven't considered?
Thank you
