1 Room 2 Systems

Greetings fellow Agoners.I'm getting ready to move into a small condo & am wondering how a big screen tv on a med.height, wide equipment cabinet would affect the sound of 2 channel listening.Basically I have a 5.1 sub/sat system with surround receiver & dvd player for movies/tv & an integrated amp,cd player, floorstanding speaker system for 2 channel listening & am going to set the sats/center on the equipment cabinet with the tv & the floorstanders out 3' to each side & about 30" out from the back wall.Any comments on how this set up will affect the sound while listening to 2 channel material.Thanks in advance for any comments.

Since every room is different it's a difficult question to answer. Knowing how well your speakers produce a sound stage and how well those speakers are placed within the room is your baseline. After that it's simply trial and error.

Every time I've tried this the stage my Eidolons produce is greatly effected so I gave up. Fortunately I have another room for the HT. The 7.1 HT is in a corner of a horribly shaped room but since the upgrade to room correction it's simply a non issue.
