Setting up new HT speaker position question

zane77

I'm in the throws of setting up a new HT setup in my family room (14x22x8), this will be a room dedicated to HT. My question is I am thinking about using my RTi A9's for LR front, CSi A6 for center, FXi A6 for surrounds, RTi A7's for wide surround, and the RTi A3's for rear surrounds, or would I be better off using the A7's for the rear surrounds and using the A3's for front heights? I currently have all the speakers except the A3's and I will be trading out my A4's for the A6's. I haven't used or heard a system with either wide front surrounds or a front height system. Anybody with any experiance in these setups would be appreciated. I want to get the speaker cables buried in the walls and would like to hear from anyone who might have any ideas. Thanks in advance.

Nice speaker!:biggrin:

I generally don't like fake processing of any type, so I probably wouldn't do either, but if I had to pick I'd do the wide surrounds instead of the front heights.

Not much info coming from those height channels. Try the A9s on the front, 6 at the center, FXi at the side and those 7s at the rear. That should sound really good. Any plans for a projector/screen in this room?

Nice system! The RTiA7's will work well in the rear-Enjoy!

Projector is a maybe. Where I live there isn't much in the way of showrooms to demo a projector. The next time I'm down in Salt Lake City (I sometimes work that area and my in-laws live there) I will try to find a few to look at. Right now I am thinking about the 70" Sharp that is at Costco for a pretty good price and their extended warranty.

Projector would probably work pretty well, no windows in this room and close the doors and it's totally dark. I will be trying to demo in the next couple of weeks
