Is surround sound worth it in a small room?

[Diyisfun]

TV is far to big for the room.
My room is about your dimensions, I have a 46, its plenty.
I have also just purchased a sound bar Samsung HW-N300, great for music, but didn't improve the dialogue as I was hoping for.

my system uses wireless speakers (actually a wireless stereo link to an amp and wired rear speakers) which I prefer because I have parquet flooring and no way to hide the cables.
It's not ideal but the rear speakers aren't so important and I am not after studio quality .
If I wanted perfect I would go to a cinema with tuned system.

Bear in mind that wireless technology has moved on and at festivals you will have delay towers running on wireless links or artists using wireless mikes. However the kit costs quite a bit. there's nothing wrong with the quality if you pay for it.

I hadn't thought of that! I must just be an old fuddy-duddy who prefers to see wires everywhere

I now have a recommendation on what not to buy



For a bit of fun, every time I discuss the size of the TV with my partner, it gets bigger! I'm currently up to 105"
