Hutch1814 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Well I've started putting the living room back together and curious as to what you guys think of the surrounds? I don't really think I have much of an option on placement due to the hallway and front door. Any ideas or think I'll be alright? The thing that bothers me is the right rear, it's almost right on top of the siting position. Granted, most of my friends and me included tend to slump down in the couch is it still going to be an issue being that close? I've already ran audyssey and finally got my sub in check so that's a plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelandKlipsch Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Room correction should accommodate for it being closer to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Well how dies it sound? If you already ran room correction and it set distant and level you should be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutch1814 Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Sounds much better than my old living room just for the fact it's slightly smaller and carpeted but when playing battlefield 4 that speaker on the right rear is there, and it makes itself known it's there. Are they mounted where they should be or would you guys recommend different placement? I can always patch the holes I made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 what am I looking at in those pictures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutch1814 Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) what am I looking at in those pictures? The 2 pictures of the rears, do you see any other place possible to mount them or am I stuck with them as is? The picture that's missing is the back wall, it's only about 4 feet wide, there's a closet on one side and a hallway on the other Edited January 29, 2014 by Hutch1814 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) Hutch, consider placing them higher up and slightly further apart. I have always use the surround side/rear near the ceiling. It is not recommended but, I like it and autocalibration has always adjusted thing pretty good. They will never get bumped or scratches high on the wall, lol.

mustang guy Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I agree with Derrick. Get that speaker away from your ear and more behind you. The only way to go is above the door on one side and on the wall in the hall entrance on the other. Definitely run calibration afterwards! Note for next Christmas. There is a LOT more room for a MUCH bigger TV! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tv is a 55 inch now but a 70 will be in its place with the 55 going in the garage with a nice small reference series system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutch1814 Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Hutch with the Big Screen TV! The Superbowl will be hear soon, get that TV. Actually the 55 don't look bad, the picture doesn't give it justice! But the 70 is going to have to wait, I plan on buying a tv, AVR, and a small pieced together reference series system of the klipsch website all at once so it'll prolly be around this time next year before I finally get around to having the garage ready for it all. Besides, my boys ain't playing in the game this weekend but I can't let the hawks win, go broncos lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutch1814 Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Got the big "hell no" on the move to move the speakers up higher so I guess they're at where they're gonna stay. The boss never let's me have my way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
