Bronze Member Username: MwarriorPost Number: 19 Registered: Jun-06 | THe above says what I'm trying to do. I have about 6 inches on each side of the fireplace, and about 5 feet above the FP. Above is where I plan to put the TV, but am trying to figure out what would be the best system to use for the surround/home theater. I saw the "Yamaha/Klipsch Quintet" combo today at Best Buy and that didnt seem too bad. Issues are as follows: First of all, the tv will be surface mount, and I"d have to make cutouts for the equipment (studs still bare for a few days so I can do this before drywall goes up). Second, I"d like to mount the surround (rear) speakers against the ceiling rather than at the wall. Could this cause any issues if they're pointed correctly? Lastly, can anybody suggest a system for this? Or a way to set this up? Thanks |

I like Yahama and I like Klipsch, but never the two shall meet... |

I like Denon and Paradigm, the Millenia speakers can look nice next to a plasma. http://paradigm.com/en/reference/fronts-millenia-millenia20-model-2-20-1-45.para digm |

Silver Member Username: MccambleyBREEZY POINT, NY USA Post Number: 457 Registered: Jun-05 | That is one big room, what about putting the TV on the opposite wall from the fire place. |

Silver Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 449 Registered: Feb-07 | That is a huge room. How big is the plasma you will be mounting? |

Silver Member Username: HuronPost Number: 327 Registered: Mar-07 | Gee, are you going to use the hole room? I mean 18' wide but are you going to put the tv and speakers in the center of that? and I dont think you would want to go any more than 20' back with rear speakers and seating about 15' feet away from tv, just ideas thats all, big speakers will have to be used, rear speakers on the ceiling I dont like, why would you want to do this? one problem with tv above fire place is you will be looking up to view it, how far up would the bottom of the tv be? Gee what is the budget hear for speakers and reciever? |
