StrangeDazed, please help!
Think I need to create a 5.1 triangle, but the rears will be parked on my head, with the mains 12' away. This might work: left rear 6' away at 2' back, right rear 6' away at 2' back, sub 3' in front, right&left mains 12' in front (abuting the tv). There is no back wall, yet I can't intrude my gear into the adjacent room. I effectively have a huge space of 1, 1.5 and 2.0 stories, but am not looking to fill it, and don't care about the overflow.
With the mains flanking the tv, don't need the center?
Monitor interferance issues with mains? Maybe get 2 mains without woofers and a massive sub(2.1)? Maybe start with $1,250 of 2.1? 3.1 sounds really stupid now, next we'll be talkin 3.0, saves money.
*OK, I'll fess up. I'm Aerosmith, and want to make big obnoxious noise. To keep the peace, got to cloak this dagger in a nice-sounding "Law & Order" tv experience.* Was thinking a 3.1 field of sound around the tv would do the trick, until a reasonable time passes, and then I buy 2 more mains! This incremental approach did not work for a friend, his wife sent the Klipsch center packing! She was absolutely right though, cause his center overpowered his mains...
I need totally non-directional stuff?
Klipsh might be the wrong place?
