  1. Yes, there's > 3ft between the front of the desk and the back of the couch. It's in the same room so that one person can game on the computer while the other games on the HTPC hooked up to the TV. One or both of us would be using a headphone setup at that point instead of the surround speakers.
  2. Okay, now with updated rotation and real furniture. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem possible to use the rotated layout and keep the standing desk, which is a requirement for gaming with my fiance As such I'm leaning towards the layout with the TV over the fireplace since it's a more optimal use of space. My current setup has the TV much higher over the fireplace with the same center setup without bother.
  3. Didn't have time to update the rotation version yet, but here are the standard views w/ an actual desk and sectional. The rack placed in the back should be out of the walk way already, but I've scooted it back a few inches to more accurately reflect its planned placement. The off center wall over the fireplace actually works out well since that lets me maximize the space near the doorway by pushing the sectional against the left wall. I'll update the rotated versions and see about fitting the standing desk back in under the Window later today. Thanks again for all of your insights!
  4. Also, here's the original layout with the equipment in the rear, which also seems to work nicely.
  5. Here are the updated drafts with the rotation. Without the standing desk, it does look more spacious, but the front speakers are worryingly close (~5ft) as RP280Fs. Is this what you were going for?
  6. Thanks for the rotation suggestion! I'll mock it up and see what the space looks like. At a glance I'm a bit worried the sectional may close off the room too much. Also not shown in the mocks are two windows; one on the back left wall and one on the rear wall.
  7. It's an adjustable height desk; here's one by Steelcase.
  8. Thanks for the suggestions! I've updated the model with your movement and tower placements. Is this about what you were thinking? The distance to the listening position is now 1.5 times the width of the fronts per the RP series manual.
  9. Thanks for your replies! I could fit towers behind the listening position, but would that be noticeably better than normal surrounds mounted in the same place? Can you elaborate on why the towers would be preferable given the location? The only concern with towers is they might have to be rear-surround instead of side-surround to avoid blocking the walkway behind the sofa. I haven't decided on the sub yet, I need to go measure and see if the 115 can actually fit I've heard similar advice though, and was considering one of the SVS sealed subs to pair with the system. I'm located in Seattle, WA and budget is < $5k for speakers and sub. Thanks again for your help!
  10. Hi all, I'll be moving into a new home in the new couple months and have a room ready for a home theater setup. It will primarily be used for gaming, music, tv, and movies (in priority order). Despite not watching a lot of movies, it's already wired with 4 ceiling speakers so I'll hook those up for Atmos with a current-gen receiver (Yamaha RX-A3060 likely). I've always wanted a Klipsch system, but never had the space before, so for front speakers I'm planning to install a pair of Klipsch RP-280F and an RP-450C center. I had originally planned on going with some RP-250S surrounds, but I'm having troubling given the room layout. It has a doorway almost exactly where you'd want the surround speakers positioned, so I'm forced to put them further back or nearly at ceiling height. Mounting the RP-250S further back seems like it might be a poor use of their wide dispersion capabilities. Various threads suggest that the RP-250S are best suited for side surrounds when placed directly adjacent to the listening position. So I was wondering if I might be better off using an RP-140SA horizontally mounted and aimed at the listening position. I've attached a couple photos showing the room orientation and sizes. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
