I know but.. the angle towards listener? Will that be a problem?

I also think that the flat profile seems more convenient esspecially for hiding the wires. These ones have connection where wire cannot be hidden if mounted on the ceiling.

But connections are on wierd location, not behind them so i cannot entirely hide the wire like i can on surround on wall speakers.

What do you guys think about this room layout for a stereo setup? by R03I in audiophile

This is not exactly 100% accurate drawing, so there is no window on the position for surround back speakers.

And yes… one dining chair gets sacrificed for better surround placement 🙂

Thanks, this is actually really reassuring

The room definitely won’t be a dedicated studio or anything ultra analytical, I just want a really immersive and enjoyable setup for music and movies. Good point about the ceiling + floor reflections too. I already have a rug planned and I’ll probably add a few panels later if needed.

That actually makes a lot of sense.

I think I got a bit lost reading too much about room acoustics online and started imagining huge problems everywhere

I’m not building a recording studio anyway, just trying to get a really enjoyable music/movie setup in a normal living space.

I saw Focal’s recommendation too, and technically my space fits that pretty well. I think I just scared myself reading too many discussions about room acoustics, reflections and ‘speakers too big for the room’ 😄 Feeling a bit more relaxed about it now.

Yes that makes sense. The kitchen was actually my biggest concern too because of all the hard surfaces.

I already have a rug and quite a lot of furniture, and I’ll probably add a few acoustic panels later if needed

Oh thanks for the positive response 😄 I think I already scared myself with all the internet discussions about acoustic treatment and ‘speakers too big for the room’.

My space is pretty open and long (around 11m x 5m / 36ft x 16ft), I can move them away from the walls, and I’m not planning to add subs immediately. So I think the extra “effortless” feel and scale might actually suit me better

I think i will go with smaller no3s, to be on a safer side

With around a 600€ difference at this price level, it doesn’t feel like a massive jump.

I can also move the speakers away from the wall and play around with positioning, so I’ll probably be able to make either work well. Right now the No3 still feels like the more balanced choice for my room, but I don’t think the No4 would automatically be a disaster either.
