Picture above is what the back wall of my space looks like from the vantage point of standing in front of the TV and looking at the back wall.
It is a brick wall that runs the entire length of the outer rectangle. Where it says "TV Wall Ends: is where the front wall where the TV is mount wall ends not the back wall. There is no obstruction of the right surround speaker.
What I want help with is advice on if it is beneficial to add surround back direct radiating speakers on the back wall for a complete 7.1 setup? The couch is 2 ft front the back wall.
If I was to add two direct radiating speakers where would I place them? Balance the back wall or place them within the range of the couch. I have no idea.
The current surrounds are bi-poles and are on the side walls point inward and denoted by the arrow. There are 3 faces to the bi-pole. A woofer in the center with a tweeter on each side. Athena Technologies AS-R1.2. I would use Athena Point S.5 series bookshelf speakers for the surround rears.
Thanks for the help.
