To any who can help,
I am trying to get my living room decked out for the release of Interstellar guys night, and came across some strange setup questions.
I have a Sony STR-DN1030 7.2 receiver currently hooked up to 5.1 Aperion Audio Intimus 4t as mains, 5C as center, 4B for surrounds, and Fluance XLBP as FH. (unused atm is the 4C in the back)
Running movies in 5.1 with PLIIz selected on receiver is how I have been testing out the FH, but I am wondering if there is a better way to maximize the sound stage like bringing down the rear surrounds to just above ear level. I imagine i should be using the 4Bs as FH instead of the bipoles but the back and side walls in the house forbid such placement at the sides or rears with the bipoles. I thought about placing bipole speakers on stands and placing them to the left and right of the love seat but stands would be a last resort if minimal gain results from doing so, since money is an last resort.
I would thoroughly appreciate some critiquing to make the best use of my setup and oddly shaped room.
Thanks!

p.s. and not as important --Has anyone heard if windows 7 supports FH or a round about way using some software?
