Well, I coulda swore we had a home theater forum... this is the closest I could find.

Anyways, I want some opinions from you guys on how you think I could rearrange my living room to get a better home theater setup. My current equipment is a sony dvd/5.1 surround piece, and a 65" HDTV rear projection.

Here are a few pics of the room:

Any suggestion on placement of the couches, tv, and speakers? Stand suggestions? Shelf suggestions? This is my first attempt at a good home theater setup.

If I were you I would run the long way. Put your TV at one end and your couch about 3/4 in room length away from it. (you dont want it on the opposite side of the room)

| TV |

Hopefully that shows up. Set your speakers up around your couch. So you have 3 at the front and then your two rear speakers just behind your couch on either side.
 
maybe place yout subwoofer in a corner because i think it sounds better when i do that with my little jvc 350 watt shelf system in my room. ;) not sure if it actually helps or not..also wouldnt u want to put the rear speakers maybe 3 or 4 feet from the back of the couch? i think u would notice rear sound a little more comin from both speakers....?
 
Dude.... you scare me.... :eek:
