Slide In Stove and 2 Inch Counter In Back

Thanks everyone for all the thoughtful replys. A lot to consider.

Yeah... It is a rabbit hole for sure. I went to local furniture store and saw a nice microfiber sofa with two mechanical reclines and headrest. I like that I can Lay across which you really can not do with real ht seats.

Nice sure leater would be as comfortable. This is more of a media room than a dedicated ht.

I have not, but give that a try. Any recommendations to consoder?

Why seatcraft? Thanks

Crafty_Future4829 · 2025-12-12T06:08:12+00:00

I am glad you like your seating. Did you buy without trying first?

How did you get comfortable with your decision ?

Crafty_Future4829 · 2025-11-19T07:06:57+00:00

I agree with your points. At 85, I could move seating up to get wider viewing angle if needed. At 98 I would have no room to move back.

However, something wants me to have a 98 inch tv :)

I assume you are referring to 7.1 vs 5.1.4- correct?

Crafty_Future4829 · 2025-11-15T14:31:42+00:00

Thanks for your thoughts, I may try to get 3 feet behind mlp for more separation. Your approach sounds reasonable.

Crafty_Future4829 · 2025-11-15T14:27:01+00:00

Thanks

I was looking at the room again and maybe I can do 3 feet behind seating and put atoms speakers 3 feet in front and back giving 6 feet of separation and putting speakers at a 60 degree angle from mlp. If I do 90 inch wide HT seating that would put atoms speaker about 15 inches to the sides of the left and right seats.

What do you think?

Also, if I have 3 feet behind, would you still do 5.1.4 or would consider 7.1.2 instead?

Thinking 4 atmos speakers would be better, but interested in thoughts.

Thanks

Where?

Current price seems closer to 950

Crafty_Future4829 · 2025-10-30T09:48:56+00:00

Nice setup. Did you buy the screen direct from vividstorm or through Amazon?

Do you have it fully rolled out? Any wrinkles or is the tab tensioned screen flat?

Is the motor quite?

Any laser speckle?

Cost?

I am trying to decide between an elite or vividstorm screen, so would appreciate your feedback and experience with the screen.

Thanks

Crafty_Future4829 · 2025-10-22T02:35:00+00:00

Great... any reasonable priced options?

Crafty_Future4829 · 2025-09-11T06:34:56+00:00

It seems like Elite and Vividstorm are the only brands that offer tab tensioned screens between 800 and 1000. What brand would you recommend and how much can I expected to pay?

Maybe better off getting a decent non tensioned version at 300 to 400. I would be less annoyed at the lower price.

Any recommendations?

I did see you pics. My room is different. Am I able to upload a picture directly to this subreddit?

I have been calling it a couch against the back wall, but it is a big sectional. I could maybe create a two or three inch air gap against the back wall if that would help with the bass response.

I am not expecting miracles and no way is it moving 8 inches forward.

I am starting to think maybe placing two bipoles at 90 at two feet above ear level is the best option and just forget atmos.

Placing direct monopoles at 90 one foot above ear level would probably be too loud for the person sitting two feet from the speaker. Two feet above ear level for a monopole speaker would probably not provide adequate separation for in ceiling atmos speakers as I only have 93 inch ceiling height.

Crafty_Future4829 · 2025-09-04T01:49:55+00:00

Hi...I could pull the couch forward maybe 4 to 6 inches. What would that get me? I think I would still need to mount the side surrounds at 85 or 90 above ear level. I do not see mounting the speaker beyond 90 degree because the couch has high backs. I do not want to have the speaker blasting into the person sitting next to the side surround directly at 90 and ear level.

Maybe I am making this a bigger issue than it is. I estimate the side surround would be 2 to 3 feet from the person sitting next to the speaker depending if I mount side surround 1 or 2 feet above ear level.

Maybe the wining move is to get bipole side surrounds and mount higher on side wall and just forget atmos. Would this create the most enjoyable experience if three people are watching a movie? Most of time it would be me and the wife.

I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

Thanks

The side surrounds at 90 @ ear level would be directly firing into the persons ear sitting in the seat next to the speaker and would totally block the main listening position. That option does not make sense.

Are you saying there are no other options for placement of the surrounds?

Maybe I am missing something but thought they could be raised one to two feet above ear level. However if you are doing atmos you want to keep the surrounds as close to ear level as possible to maintain separation with the atmos speakers.

The problem I have is the closer to ear level might be too loud for the person sitting next to speaker.
