Where do I put my speakers ?

["Hawes,Timothy Edward \(GEG\)" <haweste@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Polite suggestions please ;-)

I'm looking at replacing the floor standing speakers in my lounge with
ceiling speakers. Does anyone have experience of how many to use, and
where to mount them ? The lounge is L-shaped and although is the same
zone, I think it needs speakers in both areas.

Room Dimensions:
Big room = 5.8m x 3.15m (19' x 10')
Small room  = 3.5m x 2.9m (9.5' x 11.5')

I read somewhere that you should divide the room into thirds and place
them there. So either on the centreline of the room one third in from
each end, or two speakers one third in from each end and one third in
from each wall.

I've sketched all this out (see: http://tinyurl.com/dxaoh) and they look
too close together. Spacing them on "quarters" (green circles)
instead
of thirds (red circles) looks much better. Note that the hollow circles
are single pairs, solid circles are two pairs of speakers.

Anyone done this already? Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Tim H.
