You want the surround effect of say game noise in the back and the game itself in the front etc. It is true that music will suffer, however with your bed and TV situated as the center of the room, I may be wrong, but I will say that even if you are listening to music, the TV will be on all the time. Your movie/TV vs. music ratio is probably much higher. Go with a 5.1 and if you can put the middle speaker above or below the TV. If you don't think bipoles will do, then angle the speakers towards the bed. |
