I need help with home theater questions

[Redjay]

What are you using? Windows, android? I use an android app to resize photos and from what I understand you might be able to right click with windows to resize.

I’m using an iPhone

Gah! The one device I'm useless to help with! Lol.

*Edit: try a quick search of the Apple marketplace and see if they have a photo resizer.

@Redjay => I see you got the photo done. Sorry I missed your post on how to resize it.

It's easy to resize the photo on an iPhone. Just email to yourself, and then when you hit Send it asks what size you want => Small, Medium, Large, or Actual Size => and the estimated size for each in KB or MB as appropriate.

The photo will be handy, but please up a diagram with dimensions and seating locations with the preferred seat highlighted. The dimensions can be close estimates for now. I find it hard (not impossible - just hard) to believe you are going to use all 38 feet of length for a Home Theater setup only. Are you going projector or a large TV? (This may impact speaker choices.)

A 7.x.4 Atmos setup is going to require quite a bit of cutting into your walls & ceiling to run the cable but it can't be helped at this stage.

[/QUOTE I can’t find dimensions on plan to upload, my seating will be 9 feet from front of picture, I’m leaning towards TV over projector, my house was pre wired

 

[Redjay]

Well, still trying to decide on tv or projector

 

[-Jim-]

We can be patient. If the room was pre-wired, was it done to Dolby Atmos Specs ? If so, then this become almost all about equipment selection.

Yes , it was done to Dolby Atmos specs

Great! Now it's all about the gear.

 

[Redjay]

Yes, the installer said he ran it like that to cover all basis considering how my room was shaped

 

[-Jim-]

Can you put where the speaker cables are located on the diagram?

 

[Redjay]

He put them in the front and in the ceilings is what he told me, he said he wired it for 7:1:4

Hey guys, as I’m still doing homework on these speakers, it might be a stupid question but as I’m leaning towards Kef Q or R series, does the in walls have to match the the Kef or can I mix them? I been looking at the Monolith and JBL’ s for in walls and I don’t want to make any mistakes, thanks guys for any advice you can give, as I said before though I’m not married to any speakers as of yet so any advice and is always welcome.

My installer is trying to push Klipsch on me, would any of you guys know why?

 

[-Jim-]

No, but resist the urge to go along with Klipsch . You probably can do better.

A diagram where the main seating is located, and where the speaker wires are will assist us in making recommendations on all of the speakers. I'm still surprised to hear the rear speakers are wired in 38 feet away from the where your TV is going. Please advise where the L&R surround speaker wires exit the walls. Your primary seating area should be just ahead of those speakers. I'm concerned this is 12 feet away from the TV, and both pairs of Atmos speakers are closer than that to the back wall.

When I get off today, I’m going upstairs to see exactly where the wires are located and put a picture up

The speaker wire is actually located in the nook where the window is located, if you look at the picture you will see the the nook on the left
