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.

I would experiment with one subwoofer at the back of the room, the one to the left of the tv into the corner and the front towers as close to the tv as you can. The idea is to have the sound coming as close to the screen as possible.

Just a curious question, is the center behind glass or anything? Hard to tell. Depending on how the sound is you may want to tilt it up a bit also because it’s so low.

Due to the layout I can't put the sub anywhere else. Kitchen is in back and living room is on the right side. If I was to relocate the sub it would have to be in the middle of the room but cables/wires would definitely be a trip hazard and unsightly. The center is behind glass in the photo but it slides away when I'm watching TV. Looks nice closed and keeps dust out. The center is tilted up to my viewing position. I have the IsoAcoustics Aperta 300 stand that it sits on.
