Locating FXI's in room above garage
I'm sure there are many here with a room above the garage with the kneewall at the sides so that the side walls are only straight for about 4 ft (my case) and then slope towards the ceiling which is probably about 4 ft in width(my situation). I'm thinking of relocating my HT rig here and adding FXIa4's or A5's. If I put them on stands at 48" high they should be just above the sitting position. Any higher and they have to go on the sloping side walls and therefore come closer to the listening position.
What do I do? The room is 15' wide by 22' with a stairwell at the back. My fronts will be RTA12b and a CSi5. Also thinking of getting a pair of OWM's for presence speakers (Y receiver).Thanks.

Thanks for the offer but my camera quit working. This is easy imagine a room that doesn't have straight side walls all the way to the ceiling. They go straight up for a little bit and then slope towards the ceiling. They don't meet at a point but about 4 feet apart leaving a small ceiling. It's how they build all rooms above a garage. They start at an offset from the tip of the gable, go up till they get close to the roof line and then follow it almost to the top.Upload some pics....I may know what your talking about.
My main problem with this is that if the surround has to go above the listener, because of the slope it could very well be right over his/her head if I go too far up. To be as far away from the ears of the listener I can only go up 4 ft.
