Your room physically is almost exactly as mine is and I use a 5.1 set up that more than fills the room. In addition I have french doors and no window treatments. The problem I'm dealing with is the room itself. I have found that the hardwood floors make the room very bright compared to the wall-to-wall carpet I had. I added a 9x12 area rug which helped to reduce the echos but I still need to do more. I started to look at hanging tapestries and now my wife thinks it's great that I'm into "decorating". Can anybody recommend any THX-certified tapestries?
5.1 or 7.1 for 14' x 17' room ?
I have built a new room that is approx 13' wide x 16' long for my home office/HT/Music listening room. I am wondering if given the dimensions of the room if I should set it up for a 7.1 system or a 5.1 system.
My equipment is Lexicon MC-1, B&W Speakers, Cinepro 3K6, Plinius 2 channelamp, Pioneer elite 43" Plasma TV, AR PreAmp, DVD Player etc..
The room has vaulted cielings and hardwood floors. The cieling vaults from 8' to 11' at it's highest point. I pre-wired for 7.1 but a friend said the room is just too small for 7.1 !
What do you think? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
