Correct. Sorry I should have been more clear about the horizontal beam. The horizontal beam drops downs about 8" lower than the drop ceiling and the vertical beam comes down off of that. So its actually not a wall just a horizontal and vertical structural beam off center of the room. Hopefully I made it clear enough. If not, I can take an actual picture of it when I get home. The horizontal beam will make the surrounds sit about 5'8" from the middle of the speaker to the ground If I have the speakers just under it
Thanks again for your help again Bill!
So that looks like I would be perfect then! Thanks, Youthman!
Very true!
Yeah all you guys have convinced me to rearrange the room, get rid of the small chair and place the couch against the beam. I am so glad that this will work out for a 5.1 system. Always wanted to have a room like this and be able to do a HT correctly! Thank you all again for your input!
Unfortunately, this won't happen right away but I at least can start planning for it. I can't wait to be able to come here and help other people the way you guys have helped me. Funny thing is that I went to school for audio and now work in the live event/entertainment field. But HT is a completely different beast audio wise then doing a large show in mono through line-array speakers and delay stacks. Last time I messed with surround sound was college project that I had to mix in 5.1 but that was 13 years ago! So thanks everyone for helping me take the rust off the wheels on this as well! You guys rock!
