    Type of Soundbar with Bad Placement

    Hi!
    I have a projector and want to buy a Sounbar. I have some limitations placing it and I'm not sure how sound moves on different Soundbars and the problems I may have.

    I have to hang it from the air conditionner (1 meter to the right of a wall, 5 meters to the left of another, and 10 meters behind the couch another.

    What Soundbar would be better in this situation?

    - few front speakers (ie. 2 channels Denon DHT-S216H)

    - many around speakers (ie 13 channels Harman Kardon Enchant 1300)

    Thanks a lot!

    Hi Calvin thanks!

    Any thoughts on this? Do you think the Harman Kardon will bump the wall and give me bad sound?

    Thanks!

    I cannot do that Mike, I have young kids that are going to break it... Will it be a problem if I tilt it to face the couch? You don't think I'll b having problems with the wall to the side if you chose HK then? Thanks!

    Hi,

    I'm not up to speed on Soundbars. I use a simple Martin Logan under my TV - all I need and want.

    However, I would think hanging a soundbar from an AC could give you some negative effects, like vibration, possible condensation, etc.

    Thanks Calvin.
    The AC is never turned on, I'm most worried about the wall to the side

    The yamaha ysp 5600 is the one I use for the 'busy room'. It comes with a mic and a few options, wired or wireless sub connection, etc. I got 15 years from the ysp 1 demo I bought ans expect at least 20 years from the new model.
