So I have recently purchased a Denon 3311, the Jamo 426 tower plus center set, and two pairs of Polk in walls for rears (rc65 and rc 85i). I think I have the front setup as best as can work in the room, but I am not sure where to place the rear speakers (and which speakers for that matter). Whichever pair I do not use in the living room setup I will use for zone 2 speakers in our master bedroom.
I have it narrowed to the following two options, and have included a couple diagrams to help visualize the space.
Option 1: Place the right in wall speakers about a foot above ear level at about 15 degrees in front of main listening position and the left at the same height about 30 degrees in front. There is the obvious downside here that the rears are not actually in the rear! But, there is an additional pitfall in that I don't really want the left speaker right at the dining room table view (and sound if I use simulated stereo during dinner).
Option 2: Place the right in wall behind the main listening position by about 30 degrees and place the left at about 45 degrees.
So my questions are:

So my questions are:
- Given the diagram, do either of these configurations seem better to you? Or is there something better I am missing?
Which of the two polk pairs would you recommend I use in your favorite setup?
