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 ...

i think i can't use 7.1 after all . the room is too small.

20 feet as length ... can do 7.1 setup ... the surround back left and right can position behind your seat ... you can have B&W 600/700 series with Denon 3808/4308 or Pioneer LX70/90 or Onkyo 875/905

so room small kenot do 7.1 ar?

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.

why no point?

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.

Where got police to come tanngkap you?

Just try first la, if not ssuitable, use those speakers for you bedroom la...


I never have that problem. Never. Any of you guys already tried or not? To me if your room lentgh is too big, it won't be realistic already. The most important is that the sound image travels to your back surround, meaning just behind you, not all the way to the kitchen!

I don't have a dedicated room, so doors will have to be compromised. Here's my actual layout:



The white box is where I lie down to watch movies (I like to lie down). The door in the back actually just an opening with curtains that I closes when I watch movies.

my room is small 15ft x 7ft..

i able to enjoy full 7.1 surrounds with no clashing what so ever... it depends on your amp avr configuration

calibrate your speakers level using SPL meter.. and u r set.

and another thing, your room acoustics play important role. if got quite diffuser and bass trap to level the sound in the room. gonna add more absorbent later on.

in my case, smaller room, the sound gets more focus.

prepare at least RM4k for basic sound acoustic setup

TUN AIMAN

ur LIVING ROOM DAMM BIG

if u got a 92" screen lagi sedap


*cabutzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

really no place for that.

taikor rx, use the pj in your massive living hall lah. The, can go for 10.2 setup

Ya, with Theta Casablanca MK III and Six-Shooter, plus Klipsch reference speakers, individual tweeters, as well as 8 subs, like Kipnis Home theater, Don't forget the 16 Macintosh Monoblocks.

Of course you need the 16' wide SmX 2.35 with a Sim2 HT5000 dual lamp setup, you'll get around 20-22fl! Only the best lens, so we use ISCO III

Damn son, that's gotta be one heck of a room.
