5.1 newbie - rear speaker position questions
Hi,
I have always been a 2-channel audio purist. Well, not anymore. I am going to morph my old two channel equipment with newer surround equipment and even listen to my records and CDs with rear recovery and a center channel. I am really having a hard time figuring out where to mount my rear channels. I know that ear level straight across from one another going right through my ears would be close to ideal, but I can't approximate that at all. The best that I seem to be able to have is the rear speakers mounted just under my 8-foot ceilings (kind of high). I think that I can fudge around to at least keep them roughly equidistant from my listening position. Will this be any good? Or, is this what pretty much everyone that can't afford an in-home theatre has to deal with? Are the results worth the effort and expense, seeing that the setup is sub-optimal (at least theoretically) ?
Thanks,
B
