You don't want to put the TV in front of all the light coming in from the window. The way the room is configured, I would do a 6.1 configuration. Put the front channels above the entertainment center and put the two back above the small counch in the corner and the large couch opposit the window. Then put another channel on that corner by the smaller couch nearer to the window facing the large couch. Make sense? |

New member Username: VikingtytyPost Number: 2 Registered: Jan-06 | that sort of makes sense, but the large couch opposite the window is right up against a wall, and the wall stops a few inches above the couch(basically, you can look downstairs from right there). so i don't know where a speaker would go(don't want it sitting on the ledge or anything) and channel = speaker, correct? |

Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 4957 Registered: Dec-03 | Good point. I was thinking the TV should not get a lot of light from the window by being on the east side. Wouldn't the viewing angle be awkward if placed or left in the original configuration? Or is the angle not that steep? |
