CORNER PLACEMENT AND HOME THEATRE

[admin_exported]

I have lost a wall in my AV room (now more of an AV nook)and have to resort to corner placement of my screen (on a stand) I am thinking of using an LCR (integrated left, right, centre speaker with separate channel inputs) and a diagonal arrangement for the surround speakers. I am very attracted by the Audica LCR and would like to retain my existing B&W AS2/.M-1 speakers for the other components. Will the Aduica and B&W's integrate (through a recent Yamaha AV receiver with auto-calibration) or should I bite the bullet and buy a full Audica system (presumably the CS-1). I appreciate in advance the sound compromise involved in this placement. Regards.

The complete Audica system would be best, but I think you could use the B&W rears and sub with the Audica LCR without too many problems - as you say, the receiver should go some way towards compensation for the mix'n'match speakers.

Alternatively, you could consider the Q Acoustics Q-AV speaker system.
