The above picture is a diagram of what i have to play with. I'm wondering what might be a quick and dirty way to get a semi-decent system in place.
I currently have the two surround sound speakers as located in the picture. The Subwoofer is half-way under the end table which has 3 legs. The Center channel is being fed via the front two speakers, so those speakers are doing double duty at this point, but I do plan on buying a center channel speaker very soon.
I know that putting the TV where the DVD/CD library is currently at will make things so much easier, but my space is very limited and it would be even tighter if I put it there. I can always opt for a flat panel TV, but with a baby on the way, that kind of kills the budget.
BTW, the Front speakers are JBL 8" Northbridge floor standing speakers, so its practically impossible to move them to each side of the TV without blocking the doorway. So I know I may have to buy some smaller front surround sound speakers.
In case you're wondering, the receiver and DVD are located in the TV Stand.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated....Thanks...
That setup is incorrect for home theater. IT will work for music, but the home theater stage is absolutely worthless. There is no point in having surround sound at all with a setup like that.
either get smaller front mains that can sit to the sides of the tv (or mount to the wall) or move the tv.
Michaels soloution is a good one. I've dealt with having a small room smaller budget, and limited equipment ever since my first apartment. Make sure you focus on enjoying what you have and don't look to spending money that you don't have as a soloution to your problems. There will always be a better way to do it as long as you have more money. The main thing is to enjoy what you have
