I hope not to get flamed because of my questions, just a fyi i am completely new to the audio world and i am trying to figure out how to get this system setup that i purchased recently. thanks in advanced for any replies and help i get.


Ok here is a picture of the room i made the size is roughly 12 ft in depth and 20 in length.



Now i have a large sofa i plan to put on the top right corner of the room. and i have a lazy boy recliner i have no clue where to put it because i am going to put it somewhere after i got the system setup.

Here is the system i bought:
50" Sony Wega KDF-E50A10 with matching corner stand
Paradigm Monitor 9 speakers
Paradigm CC 290 center speaker
Paradigm ADP-190 surround speakers
HSU VTF-3 MK3 Sub woofer

Now i was thinking of setting up in the top left corner but then i realized i wont be sitting in front or the tv or centered with the system. i am completely confused. If anyone can help out with some options or just tell me im screwed that would be great lol.

Thanks for your time and help

sorry if i left some details out. please ask

It looks like you have two big, empty walls available but then again I dont think you attached an actual picture of the room.;)

From what I can tell either one of those walls would be great. Nice gear you got there; I am sure you will enjoy it. Lay it all out without hooking it up and set in front of the TV and look for pros and cons of a couple of different set-ups.

I see about 6 options. Put the monitor on either end wall, top left corner, top right corner, top left wall beside windows, top right wall beside windows. The room is so long that you can break it up into 2 seating areas. Center the seating in front of the monitor on one end of the room and make another seating area on the other end of the room. Don't be afraid to angle a couch if you put the monitor in a corner.

I think I'd orient it facing the right wall with the sub under the chimney column (if that's a good sound location). I'd place the ADPs facing each other about 18" to the left of the windows about 6' up at the tweeter. For a 50" display I'd consider a 9' - 12' viewing distance.
