Gas fireplace sounds like gas grill
Comments (1)If it has a roaring kind of noise, it's probably flashback. Normally gas is injected in a jet of gas through an orifice into the burner, and the jet of gas sucks air in with the gas through an air shutter. The gas goes through the burner and burns on the surface of the burner. If the gas and air are improperly adjusted, the gas/air combination burns too slowly to get to the top of the burner, and the flame flashes back to burn inside the burner, typically causing a roaring noise. You should have it inspected by a competent repairman who can identify and correct the problem....See MoreCeiling speakers and 'True' Surround Sound
Comments (4)Hi: 5.1 (& 7.1) is used for the audio program on digital video sources in home theater systems. It was designed, and the sound is mixed with the intention that the front speakers are at ear level to the R/L of the screen and that the rear speakers are about three feet above ear level on the rear wall. And, it is very directional! Music is two channel (excluding DVD-Audio) and only enhanced by the receiver if desired to create more spacial ambiance. But other than R/L it is non-directional. I have attempted to make the best of a bad situation for customers who had speakers installed in the ceilings during new construction and then tried to use them for 5.1 sound. I can tweak things on higher end equipment, using test discs, measurement equipment & black magic to make it better but it is never really right. The number one problem is that onscreen dialog is hard to make out on ceiling installations. Oh, I almost forgot.. reflections! Coming from the ceiling directional sound can reflect on walls and surfaces and cause all kinds or anomalies. I have even had to suggest hanging tapestries and other things to reduce the reflections. So, for music, ceiling speakers are great (the sound almost showers over you) but for surround sound, they just ain't gonna work! I hope you can find somebody truly professional in you area that has worked with these issues and can suggest other alternatives....See MoreSpeaker/surround sound placement help
Comments (4)First I would like to say that you made a good decision to not put the TV above the fireplace. Thank you. You are a great example to everyone else. To answer your question I would do a mix of the two. I would do the in-wall speakers for the LCR and back. If you really desire to have 7.1 or atmos I would put the ceiling speakers in the location of the first picture. As far as the subwoofer goes, it really depends. The best thing to do is test out different locations. If you are in the stages of wiring your home during construction then I would wire it for both locations. Keep in mind that this room was not designed for sound so there will be some less than optimal places to sit while watching a movie. Dolby has some pretty good information on where to place speakers in an ideal situation. Here's a link to that page.

Comments (21)Beagles - I think we had that before as well. TV was smaller though so it fit the length perfectly. I think our TV is also a 70" - the true measurements are 37 1/2" x 65 13/16". Yours looks nicer than I think ours would (being unevenly matched in width) because you have the cabinet to define the boundaries, plus the shadows help. I will have to look around for side speakers like RoseAbbey has - if they match the height, I could definitely accept that. Homepro, thanks for the link. Those would be OK, again, ideally if it's the right length....See MoreCOASTROAD Hearth & Patio
