My question is: Is this good speaker placement for 5:1 surround?
With the surround/rear speakers, I am concerned that because the lounges have 2 recliners, either the left or the right speaker will be very close to the person sitting on either chair, while the other is much further away (the couches vary in width from 2110 to 2670mm). Would it be better to have them on stands, or wall mounted so they are further away from the viewers? This could be tricky in my living room given the shape of it, so the rear speaker brackets on the couch would be a good space saving solution.
As for the sub, my concern is that the fact that it is concealed may impede the sound waves, and also that it is too close to the viewers, which is not ideal, particularly for low frequency sounds.
What does everyone think? I am looking to turn my 2nd living room into a pseudo home theatre, with 4k projector, 120" screen, and 5:1 Sonos sound system, with playbar, sub, and 2 x Play:1/Ones. Can I get away with using the lounge speaker brackets for the surround/rear speakers, and place the sub elsewhere in the room?
