Noob Home Theater Audio Question - Blu-ray Forum

Jeremy1983 · 01-29-2009, 04:17 PM

I'm just finishing up my front projection Home Theater room, and the best set-up for the screen is in front of my front tower speakers. Will it affect the audio if the screen hangs directly in front of the speakers and covers about half of each one?

of course it will affect the sound...... if you have the scratch, it'd be in your best interested to get an acoustically transparent screen, but they're pricey....

Is there ANY way to move them up and out 5 or 6 more inches????

Pictures??

Can't move the screen up unfortunately. Would moving them out a 5 or 6 inches make a dramatic difference?

I'll get some pics up later.

There's no problem in having the speakers slightly in front of the screen...... it's a better solution than having them BEHIND the screen..... that's for sure.

You definitely don't want to cover up your speakers. If it's covering up the top half, it will more than likely be blocking the tweeter or midrange driver.

Post up some pics so we can get a better idea of the space. There has to be a better way!

Unless of course he gets a mesh screen which allows for speakers to be installed behind it.
