Hi all - my boyfriend and I have just moved into our first home together and we want to set up an amazing sound system for music and movies. The problem is that it's open plan - the living room, dining area and kitchen are all one huge space and we haven't the first idea how to plan out where to put speakers to get the best effect. How would you start to tackle this?

For acoustics, big and open is much better than small and tight.

So you'd suggest spreading speakers around the whole area and not just in the sitting area where the TV is? Sorry if that's a dumb question but I'm not very technical! I wasn't sure if doing that might cause a lot of echo and reduce the sound quality?
