KEF iQ series is quite good but thanks to (u know who lah), the price is rather high here.

If elite speakers, try ATC, Wilson Benesch speakers, and mbl.

ATC darn ugly though. But no bass because of sealed box design.

16 feet is length or width ... a lot different in HT setup

Does it really matter? It's up to you whether you want to use the length as your width, or vice versa. I think what matters most is your door and window positions.

yupe ... affect your 7.1 setup ... door and window don't think matter most (unless the room is small) ... saw many dedicated HT room cover them up with acoustic materials ...

What I meant was, if you have a rectangular room, it is up to you to place your system with speakers firing down the longer length of the room. It is no drama if your "length" is actually shorter than your "width", because then you just consider your "width" as the "length" lah.

But if you have windows or doors on the shorter wall, then you're going to run into some difficulties placing your speakers or projector screen there.

IMHO, if you have your front/side/rear speakers placed so near to each other, you just have all these sounds clashing with each other. Sort of one big jumble/rojak of sound, so to speak. So perhaps you'll have even more difficulty hearing the steering and panning effects.

I feel that there should not be too much overlapping of the range of each speaker. So where the sound of one speaker ends should be where the sound from the next speaker begins, with only a slight overlap, if you get what I mean.

still tak berap faham
does it means tat, end of the day, i can hear surround, but abit messed up, due to the placement?

Imagine if you had Digitalkl's 20ft length, then when a spaceship flies from front to the back, you should clearly hear the sound go from front speaker, then side speaker, then rear speaker, with a large enough delay between each speaker for it to make sense.

But if you have 10ft length only, due to the proximity of the speakers, you'll almost be hearing the sound come from all the speakers at the same time, so yeah, it's gonna be abit messed up as you say. At least if you only have front and rear speakers, you'll have a bigger distance between the speakers to better simulate the movement of the spaceship from front to back.

Hope that didn't confuse you more.
