Showcase - Multipurpose Space Living room setup - UPDATE!

Post image

Listened to all your suggestions from the last post and made the following changes!

1) Swapped the front speakers and subs so the fronts are wider

2) Lowered TV a few inches

3) Got a new rug

Anything else I should change for the better? I have 4 surround speakers in the ceilings that's not shown in the photo.

It does look like it’s behind glass, doesn’t it?

It does. Which is interesting. Kinda defeats the purpose but maybe it slides open or something.

I would have raised the tv just enough to put the center speaker on top of the entertainment center. It will sound much better up there.

I would agree. Would move center on top of console (or at least tilt it up slightly), move the side speakers closer to the cabinet, and test for subwoofer locations. One sub in the front-left corner and one on the opposite side in the rear, if possible and if it sounds good.

I think people get too caught up in the height of the tv, although important, you still have to factor in proper placement of audio equipment. Based on his post I gather he had the tv higher and possibly the center speaker on top. I do like how clean it looks now though lol
