Hi! We are building a custom home and need help choosing between the following setup options. Our plans and drawing of the fireplace/TV are at the bottom of my comments.
- Arch + two in-wall speakers in the rear with an amp.
- 5.1 setup with architectural speakers. Center speaker would have to be above the fireplace and below the TV.
- 2 in wall speakers (right+left with no center) around the fireplace wall with two in-wall speakers in the back wall.
Notes/questions:
-The two rear speakers in the back wall will be located above the cased opening to the kitchen.
-Our fireplace wall is streamlined so I worry the Arc would be a little bit of an eye sore.
-Our great room has 14 foot ceilings. Is this too high for Arc?
-Would we receive the same audio quality with options 1 and 2?
-Would it be too much (too many speakers) if we added two in ceiling speakers in the kitchen? Or do you think the system in the great room would suffice?
Thanks in advance for your input!
