Speaker location options - none ideal
Unfortunately, speaker placement took a back seat to aesthetics and views in our new home under construction. I've a pair of ACI Sapphires that can only be installed as follows:
- Bottom of speaker @ 84" off ground, 18' separation
- Speakers sitting on floor, any separation up to 18'
- Any height, but only 5'6" of separation in an 18' wide room.
Tilt up/down can be accommodated, but nothing else. They'll be installed in a 18' x 45' great room, ceiling is almost 16' at the peak. Music only.
Obviously, not an ideal listening room setup - but I'm about to enter the pre-wire stage, and need to get speaker wire in the wall. No locations for in-wall speakers, but in-ceiling would work - but I've got to believe the ACI's would sound better, even in non-ideal locations.
Any suggestions?
