Surround speaker advice for tricky placement
I am looking to upgrade my current system, a 5.2.2 setup, to a 7.2.2 setup with the full size 1723 line. The only issue I have, currently, is placement of the right surround speaker. Based on the speaker dimensions of the 1723 surround I have enough room to mount the speaker in the spot highlighted. The ducting does present an issue, as it would block the left firing speaker of the dedicated surrounds. The ducting is only present on one side of the room. I’m not sure if it would be a better idea to use a bookshelf that is angled towards the seating row or to utilize the dedicated surround speaker mounted on the wall. Any input would be appreciated!
