I am a 2 channel person as well, but could not build this large dedicated listening room without taking into account family and friend gatherings, especially since not many of them have been exposed or experienced a truly immersive home theater. Plus, the wife said my space, all 33x22x10, is hogging, haha. It’s our retirement home build and last house we are building. 3rd listening room and theater. The room is being built with soundproofing concepts and front row seating is primarily setup for the 2 channel sweet spot. With 400 pound field coil horn speakers that have 15” forward bass drivers and 18” sub bass drivers, I plan on a listening distance of about 9-11 feet, and 13-15 for second row seats for movie watching. Screen width is 135” diagonal and speakers are Klipsch RCC 102 behind the screen professional theater speakers. I purchased the Klipsch system because it’s a literal plug and play solution. Unbox the speakers, set on ground behind screen and connect the speaker wires. The speakers are connected to each other and are all the same height. Plus, they are highly efficient. I learned with this 3rd theater, that having more efficient theater speakers is key to satisfactory movie watching without cranking up the amps. I also love to watch concert movies and home theater brings me closer to that experience.
