I'm setting up a 5.1 system in a "great room" and after much negotiation with the SO, there are 3 choices for placement of the rear speakers:
1. In the wall (parallel to the TV screen) that is 14 feet behind where we sit.
2. In the sloped ceiling above where we sit. The 2 speakers would be at different heights: left - 5.5 feet, right - 8 feet).
3. In the side walls (relative to where we sit). In this arrangement, the rear right would actually be slightly forward of where we sit while the rear left would be about 2 feet behind where we sit.
I know that none of these arrangements are anywhere close to ideal but I'm just looking for the lesser of the 3 evils. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Bil
