Hello all! I just purchased new Klipsche Reference Premiere speakers, they are on the way now 😃. 2x RP-8000F, RP-504C, and 2x RP-502s. I have been running a paradigm Cinema 110C for about 10 years now. they have been OK, but since we added the 135" projector screen (paint on wall) I have wanted more sound to fill out our room :). Still deciding what sub to run with the new Klipschs, current is paradigm cinema 10, and monoprice 12". The Paradigm surrounds were bipol speaker as are the RP-502S's are. My room setup is in a finished basement with drywall and carpeted floors. my front soundstage is good as far as I know my diagram has subwoofers on outside of towers but they will be inside tower placement. The center channel is centered on the left 1/2 of the couch (where the two of us sit 95% of time)
I am needing some advice on speaker placement for the surrounds. Currently the left surround is placed at the end of our 1/2 wall by the couch, the right surround is at the end of the couch where the 1/2 wall ends. I am wondering if I should place the left RP-502s on the other side of the room closer to the chair? the width of the 1/2 wall post where the surround left speaker is currently located is only 7 inches wide. The Klipsch RP-502's are 12 inches wide. so they will hang over a bit or I need to find a new location for them.
If I move by the chair the wall is at a 45 degree angle. my concern is the sound will be projected along that 45 degree wall and then get lost behind the couch / 1/2 wall. Maybe some speaker brackets and I can angle more towards the screen/front.
Attached room diagram is to scale, distance from tv wall to 1/2 wall/back of couch is 14 feet. yes I know my center channel is well not centered in the pic, was moving / measuring for new speakers.
