The Dude Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Originally I was going to close off my theater room at about 22' but the wife said I wouldn't be happy with a 10' bar area. So I decided to keep it the full 32' which gives me a better back row that I can raise, and a better bar area that will all be in the same room which I am fine with. My question is my surrounds will be approx 17' from my fronts, the surround backs will be celling mounted, which I was just thinking of mounting them symmetrically from side to side. But I didn't know how far back they should go, the side surrounds are fairly large(Gothovers Drift design). I don't think I may even really need the surround backs but why not if its offered right. I could even mount them on the back wall if that wasn't to far. I just didn't know if there was a standard to surround back placement.

derrickdj1 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 If the surround back speakers are large enough performance wise, they should work in your situation. My surround back speakers are around 18-20 ft from the front speakers and worik great. I use towers, but I think something mounted high should not have any obstruction and can be position to have a great reponse. They do offer different effects than the regular surrounds. The way BD are made DTrue HD, DTS, DPIIX, DPIIZ, even stereo will sound ok since 95% of all the information will be in any of the formats, if not more.

The Dude Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 How far are your surround speakers, if I mount my surround backs on the back wall they would be 15' away from the surround speakers. I am thinking incelling would be best so I can mount them closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 My surround back speakers are 8 ft from the surround speakers. My surrounds 9ft up on the side walls which I prefer for spatial effects. My house is an open concept desing like many on the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
