I have my TV in the corner of my livingroom due to windows, archways radiators, etc. My center is on a plate ontop of the TV. The wall the Tv is at facing the sitting area is 12 feet wide. My front speakers are on either side of the TV about 4-1/2 to 5 feet apart. I want to space my fronts further apart but that would mean the tv and center speaker would be off center of the fronts. The left speaker would be 6 inches from the side of the TV but the right speaker would be around 7 feet frome the right side of the TV. This is the only option I have. Any input on this would be great. Switch or stay with what I have?

    That's a tough one Michael. You can always try it to see how it sounds, but I doubt you'll like it that way. What you can try that really works wonders is to move the speakers further out into the room. You will be amazed at the difference in sound quality. Those LSi9's need room to flex their muscles. Good luck.

    I did that but I have never seen such a low WAF factor before. I was happy with the sound but Bern was not happy with the way it looked.

    I would place the speakers where you want them, then pull the TV forward even the the speakers. It makes for better acess to your wires.

    I love how music can brighten up a bad day.

    Well it works both ways. I don't know why she has to buy clothes at Armani and she dosen't get my audio hobby. It is funny how they get the last word though.
