ok, so due to recent life events i now have the following grouping of equipment that i want to utilize to its fullest. Help me figure out what i should do.

TV- Mitsubishi 73" DLP WD73727
PS3
2x XBOX 360 Elite
1 XBOX HD DVD player
Toshiba A30 HD DVD player
Wii
Receivers- Denon 4306
Pioneer Elite VSX-82TSX
Mains- LSi 15's
RTi 12's
Centers - LSi C
RTi A
Surrounds- 2x FXi 5's
4x FXi 3's
Subs- Polk PSW10
Velodyne SPL-800


My initial thought was to put the RTi towers in the rear for surrounds, but the couch would be directly in front of them, and i fear would block a significant portion of the sound. So my second thought is to somehow use all four in the front, is that possible or worth a damn? Would it sound like crap? The denon receiver has a 9.1 capability with the B output. I have enough surrounds for that... Or should I bi-amp the front? I have more stuff than I know what to do with. Help me out. What is the best set up for this equipment? Thank you.

I wouldn't put all 4 in the front. Use the other 2 as rears and I am sure you can somehow get over the couch factor by appropriate compensation. I don't know your speakers power requirements, so it is hard to say. If in doubt, bi-amp though. More power is better than less.

From your post elsewhere:

Are you just asking about the speakers or do you need to know how best to hook everything up?
If you want to know how to hook everything up, it would be beneficial to list the different types of inputs/outputs that each piece of equipment has.

As for the speakers, just because you have them, doesn't mean you have to use them.

Use the Lsi15's for front L/R. Use the LsiC for center. Will your room support 7.1? If so, use the FXi3's OR the FXi5's for the sides and two of the FXi3's for rears. If your room will only support 5.1, just use the FXi5's for sides.

Use the Velodyne sub.

Sell the other speakers or put them in another room.
