Description of Issue:
So due to a recent sudden move and having to quickly buy a house, I have to make due with a small house from 1948 with an odd 12x12 room with a 7 foot ceiling for my tv/theater/game room. I can place the speakers in a square directly face with a couch placed center on the back of the room. Question is I have a 7.1 Surround sound speaker system with Polk Monitor's ( the re-release from a few years ago). I am trying to figure out what the ideal set up for this room would be, with the rears on stands currently they are directly behind the couch just a hair above ear level, side speakers are directly to the side and at ear level as well. On the upside the house is VERY well insulated and retains sound well.
Questions:
Should I consider wall mounting the sides and rears? If so how and what direction (low ceiling) but I would not mind the extra floor room especially if it enhances sound at all.
Speaker Information
Two Polk Towers, 4 Bookshelf's and a center + Sub.
P.S I know audiophiles are going to be well you can't do 7.1 in a room like that and so on and so forth but it what I have from my last house and I don't currently have a huge choice, so I am looking for help from those more experienced then I am.
