Was wondering if anyone had LCRs behind AT screen and/or in Baffle wall? Not sure with the side radiators if they are good for baffle wall behind screen.

Looking to get dedicated theater going in basement. I would be looking at DTS NEO X, Dolby Atmos speaker layouts.

Supercenter XXL

Nice to see someone else asking this question, although surprised it hasn't been answered. I'm wondering the same thing...

I guess no one uses one guys, pls tell us if you try it, how does it work? I can't see any reason why not!
Have fun trying new things.
Happy Listening,
God Bless,

I have 3 Triton 2's behind a 10' wide 2.4 aspect ratio Seymore AT screen. In my opinion, it doesn't get any better, particularly for dialog from the Center. I use the LFE of all three in combination with a PSA XS30 and the LF is quite stunning. As with any AT screen, you'll get a couple db of attenuation but they frequencies all get through just fine. I don't use this system to 2 channel listening (I have T1's in office for that!) , so even if there was some loss, not big deal. If you can do AT, I highly recommend it for a real theater feel.

Interesting story on how this all started. I saw a single T2 for sale on Audiogon that was damaged in transport for a couple hundred bucks. The front baffle was basically in two pieces, but for $200 bucks, what the hay, I'll try to make a center out of it. It only took a dozen wood screws and a bottle of glue and I had that thing working like new in an hour. Looks like a war underneath the sock but with the damage behind it and the screen, no problem. I ended up buying the buying a pair of wingmen I enjoyed them so much.

Yes, my GoldenEar theater is behind an AT screen (110"). I use an SI weave screen, it was engineered with the assistance of a well known speaker company for very linear, non-frequency-dependent minimal attenuation (less than 1dB). Very hard to detect any change with screen down or up. (Beware of perf screens as they have significant frequency-dependent attenuation.)

I agree, for the real movie theater experience, an AT screen with speakers behind is the only way to go.

Thank you for the reply! Just to dig a little deeper, and getting back to the OP's question: Would any GE's be good for a baffle wall behind screen?

It seems to me like GEs are designed to be within a room - not up against a baffle wall. Maybe the SuperSat series?
