Hereistay Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 (edited) Hi! I'm going to build a little home theater in my new home. The room will be 4.06x4.03m (13.3x13. 22ft), I know, it's not the best thing a square room. By the way I'm trying to understand the best placement for my speakers. My goal is to make a 7.2.4 layout in the future but, at the moment, I'm going to make just a predisposition. I'll start with a 5.1.2 or 7.1 layout. My speakers at the moment are: Rf82 mkii Rc62 mkii Rs42 mkii R12-sw About the video I have a epson eh tw6600 with a 100" screen. Another question is where to put the rs42 bipolar surround. Should I put them at 90° from ears or somewhere else? Because of the window and the door the best way (according to me) to place speakers is the one I attached. I could make a specular layout but there is too little space to put the surround after the window. Please, let me know all your suggestions! Thank you very much!

billybob Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 That looks like a fairly standard set-up for HT. About where you have the side surrounds now, at ear level or higher. Have to work with what you have. Pics of room will help. Thanks @Hereistay ... welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, about the rs42 have I to put them at 90° to the listening point or with another angulation because of their bipolar property? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 If I understand correctly, no you do not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the side of the listening position. 90 degrees would put the RS overhead. It is not that exacting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hereistay Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 Ok I was wondering if bipolar speakers have to be placed in a different way than "normal" speakers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have rear surrounds also, then side surrounds 90 degrees slightly above ear level(while sitting) is pretty ideal. Bill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
