Hi all,
As I mentioned in a previous thread, I'm picking up five Frescos and a 4306 on Friday along with a new Pioneer 6070HD plasma. The system will be paired up with a 12" Paradigm sub. I know it's not a ML, but it's performed well and I'm not ready to swap it out just yet. I've been busy all week doing the pre-wiring and getting everything ready.
I have two questions:
1) Since we're switching from a rear projection to the plasma, appearance is unfortunately a very imporant factor. With the configuration of the room, towers just aren't going to look right, thus necessitating the on-wall setup. I'm a bit concerned about the Fresco's ability to fill the room, however, as it's fairly good sized. It's 22' x 15' with an 8' beamed ceiling, carpeting, and a large sectional. Anyone have any thoughts on the ability of the Frescos to perform well in this sized room?
2) In terms of rear speaker placement, they're currently installed on the wall directly behind the couch, at approximately ear level. Assuming I'm sticking with a 5.1 system (which I am for now), is this the best overall location for the speakers or am I better off trying to move them to the corners and set them on a diagonal?
Thanks again for all of the help so far! This is a great forum.
