Thanks for the quick response,
I don't really do any critical listening; mostly music on while I am doing something else or entertaining. Also my room is about 13' wide by 16' long. Given this does the recommendation for the portraits still stand? Obviously they will sound better but I guess I am wondering if it is very noticable in day to day normal volumes. I don't consider myself to have the "golden ear" that some audiophiles have
Also, I need to mount my TV over a fireplace so the bottom of the TV will be about 55" from the floor. Given other restrictions I can mount the speakers no lower than about 57" from floor to bottom of speaker. Does it make sense to mount them upside down so the centers are lower (closer to the bottom of the TV) and the "fronts" are higher? Is this even possible?
Finally I saw the sale price which is what gets these in my budget in the first place so while I could
maybe stretch for the portraits I unfortunately can not afford the rear surrounds meaning I need to go with a cheaper option for now. I am looking at the polk rc60i which I can get on sale right now for about $120; these will only be used for rear surrounds during movies. Any idea if these will match close enough. Any other options that might match better in that price range.
Thanks,
