I'm planning to add a surround sound system to a 13" television. I know it sounds crazy but I'd rather watch movies and play video games on my 13" than on a larger television because I'm really anal about scan lines and can't afford an HDTV (I'm only a poor college student). Anyway I'm thinking of purchasing an Onkyo SKS-HT500 home theater speaker set alone with a Pioneer VSX-D711 receiver. These speakers are of conventional bookshelf size (I know enough to stay away from typical home theater in a box setups) what I'm wondering is since I will only be sitting about five feet from the television will this be a far enough distance away from the front speakers to obtain an adiquite soundstage? If I were to form an equalaterial triangle between my setting position and the front speakers the left and right front speakers would only be about five feet apart. Would this be an adiquite distance for seperation between the two front speakers with speakers that are of convential bookshelf size.
Obviosly I'm a home theater newbie and could use some advice.
