Hi,
This is is a typical speaker location question, but NOT in your typical huge "US home" room.
My TV room is quite small: 2,50m (W) x 4,00m (L) x 2,45m (H), all concrete, with one door and one window. Room will be partially treated, with some absorbers and diffusers on wall.
The problem is that the couch is against the back wall, and IDK what type of surround speaker use and where to locate my Atmos speakers.
I aim to build a 5.1.4 system or -worst case- a 5.1.2 system.
1-. Surround Speakers
I've read recommendations that when couch is against the wall it's better to use dipole or bipole speakers. Is this true? My problem with these type of speakers are expensive and the resale value is quite low, so I would prefer an alternative. My other alternatives are:
-. Use the same speaker as the main channel (Adam T5v) installed on wall 90º from the MLP. The problem with this is that that the SL would be much further than the SR.
-. Use small satellites for surround (Genelec G1 or SVS) mounted on wall above ear level, aimed towards MLP (smaller speaker, easier to get the recommended 110º for surround)
-. Get some on wall speakers and mount them on the back wall, aimed to the front (price wise this is more expensive than the others).
2-. Atmos Speakers
Should I go with 4 channels or only 2? Considering the only 2 right above the MLP. I've read some suggestions that -even thou the best option is that the MLP sits between the 4 atmos speakers- having 4 Atmos is much better than only 2... and in this case there should be atmos right above the MLP and the other channels moved up front. The speaker choice is not defined.
Some considerations:
-. I could move the couch forward a few centimeters (3cm?)
-. All speakers will be high passed around 120hz
-. There will be around 6x 10" SW
-. Not a reference system at all, listening is done around 75-80db
-. Uploaded plan of the room.
Looking forward to your help and guidance!
Cheers
