Not only does SVS make some killer speakers, they also have a blog with lots of useful information for home theater enthusiasts. This one is on speaker placement. I’m assuming you all are comfortable with the 5.1/7.1 setups, but past that into Dolby Atmos… I certainly learned a thing or two. SVS receives lots of questions about loudspeaker and subwoofer […]
