15x10 bedroom conversion

[otto2008]

Hi all- I've been all over my house for years trying to create a theater room to no avail. Now I'm going convert a bedroom , 15x10. My question is...along what wall should be my viewing area? , on the 15ft wall or the 10ft? , also should I downsize my subs due to the small footprint, would have to be between (duals)Mono 10, PB 1000 and RSL , or somehow use one of my subs below but only one of them.
My current set up:
75 inch Sammy
Polk Monitor 70s , 40s, Cs10
HSU 15H , PSA XV30FSE (165lbs)
Yamaha RX 700

The TV on the short wall, always.

Keep your subs!

Small subs are a waste of space. I would just keep the HSU. One decent sub aces two puny ones.

And 2 decent subs is blissful, when set up proper. I have 2 x-13s in an 11x15 room. I would not give one up for an extra 4sq.ft of space. Nor would I replace them with anything less capable.

If you really want to micromanage the situation, you could consider 2 PC4000 from SVS.

@otto2008 Ideal viewing distance for a 75" per attached chart:
TV Viewing Distance Size Chart Guide for Full HD and 4K TVs (tvsguides.com) Just some thought.

With a 75" TV, I would likely go with the TV on the long wall. This way you can have a wider seating area in the room, if doorways allow for it. Often people use the small wall for a TV and it can sometimes limit size and speaker placement. But, so much depends on how many are viewing at once and if you want multiple rows of seating or other options. It is MOST common to use the short wall for the screen, but isn't actually the rule and isn't actually always the best choice. If the door is positioned on a short wall, it may be best to enter from the side of the theater rather than the front/back of the space which can be of major impact.

Granted, if you have 10' or more eyes to screen, then I would paint the room darker, block the light completely, and get a decent projector with a screen that's 110" or larger in size.
