[QUOTE="ccualumni, post: 8372362, member: 665521"] My living room is two stories high and there is a rail upstairs about 4 feet tall. Above the rail is open space as well. I have an LG TV and a Sony surround system. My issue is that the TV and/or surround system are both louder upstairs than sitting right in front of the TV. My hearing is probably not as good as it used to be, so I have to turn it up a bit louder to be able to hear what people are saying. I have trouble hearing what people are saying as the background noise drowns out the words. I have a basement underneath as well, so I cannot run wires to make it a true surround system. All 5 speaker are mounted on the wall beside the TV. The TV speakers kind of stink, but the surround sound system sounds great at higher levels. If my son is asleep, I have to keep the TV turned down. We typically listen using the TV speakers only, but like I said, it can be hard to hear. I went to Target today and they have a BOSE all in one surround sound system that sits on a TV stand below the TV. It had great sound and I am thinking that it would improve my situation, but with the issues I have had, I am not sure. I am hoping the experts here can suggest a better setup or recommend what I need to do to improve the sound. What are your thoughts: 1. Should I try the BOSE system? 2. Is there a way to "direct" the sound forward (not sure how to word that) so that it comes through better?4 3. Does anyone have a similar setup? What did you do to make it better? Thanks in advance for your hep and suggestions. [/QUOTE]
