So. Starting to consider things for the new home. Currently I have surround sound speakers hardwired through the floor/basement and up the exterior

Posted by oblique (aka kkuphal) Mar 31 '22, 10:42

walls of the house. Our new floorplan is very open so that's a no-go. Any good suggestions for replacement? I could just go with L/R/Center. I also want to consider that the TV is mounted above the fireplace and fairly high relative to how we look at our TV now on top of our entertainment center. I'm considering one of these to bring it down to eye level when in use. That could complicate matters with a soundbar and I don't want to rely on TV speakers (gross)

I really dislike that type of TV placement. What about a high end soundbar? -- nm - Shaun Mar 31, 11:03 1
- I just noticed the mount has a soundbar spot so that's probably the best option -- nm - oblique Mar 31, 11:04
Ha! I've been on monoprice recently making the same decisions about mounting TVs and cables! -- nm - David Mar 31, 10:46 10

  - I'm not all that fond of it myself but the mount is already there, the "holes" for running cables already there and the room doesn't lend itself to - oblique Mar 31, 10:52 [Attachment] 8
    - Wow! That's a tough call there. We had a rough call in our new living room, but not like that. - Uhtred, son of Uhtred Mar 31, 11:19 1
      - The obvious answer is a video wall over the stairs :) -- nm - oblique Mar 31, 11:21
    - Ooh, that's tough. I'd probably do it to the right, but I haven't been in the room. - David Mar 31, 10:54 1
      - I've considered putting it angled where the clock is but then I'd think you'd want any kind of seating/couch to be in front of the windows which I'm - oblique Mar 31, 10:56
    - Just put the tv in another room. -- nm - spamlet Mar 31, 10:53 3
      - What other room? :) That's it. - oblique Mar 31, 10:54 2
        
        Dining room, obvie. -- nm - Spawn Mar 31, 11:09 1
