New to HT, sorry if this is long.
I have a large LR, 20x26 (std 8ft ceiling.) The space is divided into 2 separate 13X20 areas, one of which is the TV/couch area. TV is on one of the 20' walls with couch in the middle of the room. Placing the surrounds on the side is really not an option since one side (26') wall is partially open. Can I place the speakers in the far rear corners? This would place them about 12-13 ft behind the couch. Will this still produce decent sound? In one corner of the back wall the window goes all the way to the inside corner, so I would need to mount close to the ceiling. Any problem with that? I haven't chosen the rec or speakers yet, just in the planning stage. Also, I want the speakers to be small size since they may be located in the corners (this is our main LR, not a dedicated HT) - can small sat speakers produce decent sound in a room this size? I suppose another option would be celing mount speakers, maybe in-walls, but not sure about the sound quality in those. I'm looking at a budget under 1K. I appreciate any avdice
thx, Don
