Re: Relocating to a Loft, need advice on layout.


I think this setup will be a compromise at best...

A large open-plan area..
No wall near the left hand side of the seating..
20' ceilings!!
Difficult to treat acoustically..

Firstly, I would move the single row a bit closer to the screen..unless you're having a very big screen.
.
The surrounds are going to be your biggest problem..
If you're looking at using a 7.1 system, then the back speakers are too far apart..
The side surrounds will be a bit out of balance because you have the left speaker free-standing and the right speaker against the wall..
I take it that you'll be using surrounds on stands or floorstanders?

EDIT: I've just had another look at your previous set up and I see you do have floorstanders for surrounds..
I don't see that you can do very much more than what you've shown..
Perhaps someone else might see a better way of doing it..
