I think that is a perfect location.  It is just a vertical beam in the room and not a wall as the CAD drawing could indicate, correct?

I agree with Bill, that is exactly where I would put them.

Youthman's diagram is accurate.

 

I have played around quite a bit with different side surround placement. I prefer keeping them exactly 90° from the listening position and either right at or about 6" above ear level provides the most defuse, non-localized, enveloping sound to my ears. I always seem to be able to tell exactly where the speaker is when I move them further back and higher on the wall.

Excellent! Thank you for the tip, holtrp!

Given you background with live sound, it's inevitable that you'll some day end up with a fully active Cinema rig.  Inevitable.  Might as well start planning for it now.

Hahaha! :lol:That is what I am afraid of! The wife will most likely keep me at bay though. But maybe I can sell the wife on the idea:ph34r:. I can picture dual 18" subs going across the front already!

Hahahaha!!! Holy$**t that is a glorious setup! I would never be able to get that big as the damn room is too small.

My screen is 12' wide.  You could fit this in your room.  :D

Drooling right now.... Love the LED setup as well. I don't even think that would fit because the border/frame usually make the screen even bigger! Those subs must rock!

My room is even smaller than youthman's. 11'8" wide. And my speakers are all much bigger than his lol. You can jam a lot in a little space with a falsewall 

Haha! That's incredible. I don't know how you guys do it!
