I'll be moving house soon and am debating between two locations for my system (Devialet 440 Pro CI + Sonus Faber Olympica IIIs).
1) Upper Floor: This is a bonus room that is 19 ft x 20 ft with a 10 ft ceiling height. We will likely put a sectional couch in it as we plan to put a large TV on the right wall (closest to the "HALL" area). So the thought is to place the speakers on the bottom wall (where the windows are) and the rack off to one of the corners (most likely bottom left of the room).

2) Ground Floor: The other option is the Great Room. We have a 6' grand piano that will be positioned on the bottom right corner of the great room, near the fireplace. That leaves only the left side of the great room closest to the stairs available. This would make it a bit more nearfield placement. The room is a 2-story open great room and the space opens into the dining/kitchen area. So there will likely be some balance adjustments to be made on my Devialets to account for dead center imaging/soundstage.

What option would you choose? 1 or 2?
