Not exactly woodwork or home reno, but...
I am in the process of renovating my house and finally establishing a decent home for my stereo and home theatre setup.
I have one long wall (6m approx) in my lounge room that features a dirty big brick fireplace (2.7m wide) halfway along. As it is not practical to take the fireplace out, but I don't want to use it, I have closed off the chimney in the roof, waterproofed it thoroughly and then clad the whole bang lot with plasterboard. I plan to hang a plasma (if I ever get one :D )in the middle of this fireplace wall. Hopefully I will post a picture soon.
I also want to recess my centre speaker and two floor standing front speakers into the wall that I built.
What I want to know is that will the sound be affected by this? Do they need to sit in open space? Any tips for improving the sound during this process?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
