Craig6519 Posted October 13, 2001 Share Posted October 13, 2001 I'm thinking of buying another C-7 for a future rear center upgrade, my only concern is that the center would half to be about 10-11 feet behind the listening position. My living room and dining room are combined so i'd need to put it that far back. Is this ok will it still sound right? Any thoughts?

RossVTaylor Posted October 13, 2001 Share Posted October 13, 2001 Craig, You should be okay. Your AV receiver should have a distance adjustment in the speaker setup area of the menu. That adjustment will let you specify the distance to each speaker in your HT, including the rear speaker. You can also adjust that channel's volume to match the other, closer, speakers in your setup. Since I don't have that receiver, I can't comment further on how you access that menu. But, your center should work fine back there. Ross ------------------ "Time flies like an arrow.

RobCurran Posted October 14, 2001 Share Posted October 14, 2001 Craig, firstly, thanks for responding to my email. I'll have a make my way up to Mildenhall someday to check out your setup. Your question got me surfing the net on theories on speaker placement. And, of course, everyone has different theories. Dolby states, "If possible, place surround speakers to either side of the listening area, not behind it http://www.dolby.com/ht/sound/sound3.html . While Home Theater Sound claims, "The surround speakers can be placed either behind or to the sides of the seating position, and preferably slightly above ear level. If the speakers are placed behind the listener and on a wall, the seats should be moved away from the wall so that the speakers are not too close to the listener. If the surround speakers are placed immediately to the sides of the seating position, they should be angled so that they do not fire directly into the ears of the listeners from either side. http://www.hometheatersound.com/features/cinemacynergy/cc_20010101.htm I've read some article suggesting two front channel speaker are pretty nice. Maybe worth a try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
