笔者最近在《Sound&Vision》杂志上读到一篇有趣的署名文章,作者戈登·布罗克豪斯打算把他的起居室改造成声像效果均属一流的家庭影院。然而,该起居室不是最适合布置家庭影院的长方形,而是与较窄的餐厅凹室相通,二者构成“L”形。使他感到更别扭的是,起居室前方墙壁的正中矗立着一尊大型壁炉,其两侧各有一扇窗子,起居室右侧则开有两扇通向露台的大门。他认为,这种L形房间不仅音响效果差、难以摆正电视机的位置,而且难以实现环绕声音箱及后方声道音箱的对称摆放,要布置成一流家庭影院实在是难上加难! The author recently read an interesting, signed article in the Sound & Vision magazine. The author, Gordon Brockhouse, plans to transform his living room into a top-rated home theater with sound effects. However, the living room is not the most suitable rectangle for the home theater, but rather communicates with the narrower restaurant alcove, both of which form “L” shapes. What made him even more awkward was that there was a large fireplace in the middle of the front of the living room with windows on each side and two doors to the patio on the right side of the living room. He believes that this L-shaped room is not only bad sound effects, it is difficult to square the location of the TV, but also difficult to achieve symmetrical surround speakers and rear channel speakers placed to be arranged into a first-class home theater is even harder!
