    Lightbulb Question: 2EX or Horizon Center for mains

    Finalizing selection of speakers for my setup.
    Pictures below - media cabinet is here to stay (spouse fav), so we have to work with this.
    Two setups I am considering – below.

    Characteristics:
    • Shelf dimmensions: width 60'', depth 16'', height whole unit 26'', heigh each shelf 10.7''
    • Top shelf will hold TV
    • Subwoofer NOT an option: won't fit on shelf, and otherwise spouse wants to limit number of boxes in the room
    • Listening position 11 feet away
    • Room opens into nook (open space) and kitchen (doorway)
    • Receiver will be Denon x3500h
    • Speakers ideally on middle shelf, so that TV can be larger

    Listening preferences:
    • 80% music / 20% movies
    • Low-to-moderate volume (got a 2yo child, plus neighbors beyond living room wall)

    Setup 1:
    2x Sierra-2EX in horizontal position
    RAAL tweeter will need to be rotated
    Distance between speakers: 32''

    Setup 2:
    2x Horizon Centers RAAL, in horizontal position
    Distance between speakers: 14''

    Questions:

    1. Sierra-2EX: how hard is it to manually rotate the RAAL tweeter at home?

    2. Horizon Center RAAL: distance between speakers 14'', too close together to create a stereo image?

    3. Horizon Center RAAL: What is the exact height of the speaker? 11'' exactly? Or otherwise? Height of shelf is exactly 10.7''

    4. Any other thoughts?
