Hello group,

I am planning to wall mount two 3-way speakers behind the couch that sits
up against the wall that they are mounted on. It seems silly to me to
have the speakers directing straight out with the soundfield being
projected over the listener on the couch's head.

So it seems to me that I should design a way to have the speakers pivot on
a pivot point at the base of the speaker and the wall to direct down
nearer or directly at the listener on the couch. As far as general
information: the room is somewhat small being 11 by 12 feet. The front
speakers are at ear level and on the opposite wall. I am also using a
harmon kardon amp which can set the millasecond delay values on a per
speaker basis.

What is this going to sound like before I go and build it?

Is this a dumb idea?

Is it going to hurt the sound more with reflections and such than help?

Anything I'm missing?

I really appreciate any input b/c it might be a really good idea or it
might be really silly. What do you guys think?

You'll have to experiment. See if you can have a couple of friends hold
the speakers in different places while you watch a DVD. Run, Lola, Run
has lots of surround effects.
