5.1 Rear Speaker Placement Opinions?
I am considering moving to the 5.1 format. I can't find a thread I saw a while back regarding rear speaker placement. My speakers will be wall or ceiling mounted on brackets. I am using Linn Tukans in the front with a REL StrataIII sub. The rears will also be Tukans. I am also considering a receiver that will play 5 ch stereo. What do you think, I'm getting mix inputs. On the sides? 45 deg from rear corners? Rear firing forward? 90/10% music/movie ratio. It is a large "great room" (combo kit/family). I cannot get the rears more than 2/3rds back in the room as we have a eating bar w/hanging cupboards above. Any input would help before I start drilling and climbing in the attic. Thanks All. Dan
