Hi to all,

My brother is interested in having a dedicated Home theater room. he's also interested in small speakers like the BOSE jewel cubes. he's leaning towards Bose but he'd go for Sony (he's a fan) if they have something similar to the lifestyle 28!! maybe I could convince him to go for Sony separates.

so, he'd like to know:

1- what would be a good room size for a HT (with a few # of ppl to use it- less than 5!)? ((he's thinking around 19 (L) X 16(W) X 9(H) ft!!!))

2- where would be the best placement of the speakers? (height, distance from corners/TV...etc)

3- does Sony have a good system with powerfull small speakers like Bose'?

4- is there any companies doing room insulation for such a project?

5- suggestions/ opinions are welcome!

6- any Links regarding these subjects would be highly appreciated.......

7- any other variables? I'm sure there are plenty!!


TIA,

Nazeeh.

Thanks avatar74 for your reply.

a couple more questions if you don't mind;

- would there be a difference if the 5 satellite speakers were all fixed above ear-level?

- money is ALWAYS a big factor (and a constraint ,
if you could provide me the links for such companies, I'd be thankfull.

Thanks,

Nazeeh.
