Hi!

My speakers are arriving soon. Please advise on the setup you would prefer: either like in the first photo—close to the pillars, creating an equilateral triangle (2.30m sides)—or like in the second photo—flanking the TV against the wall, with 2.80m between the speakers and a 3.40m distance to the listening position. In the latter case, the pillars would be directly in front of a speakers. Would the speakers handle that well? The photos were taken from the listening position. TV is 85" for a scale comparison and photos are wide angle, so it all appears to be further away than it actually is. Besides, I have a sloping ceiling behind me—it's an attic.

Speakers are added by AI.

Thanks!
