Well, my amp is a bit older, and while it will decode 7.1, it it doesn't amplify 7.1. In other words, I could buy an amp and send the pre-out left and right rear to it, and then drive some speakers, but the AVR-2802 itself will only amp a mono rear channel. I figured I'd hang the center rear above the center of the sofa and turn it down if messes with the sound stage too much.



abbub,

I tried a rear speaker behind the couch, and above the couch, that close to the wall with poor results. Rear channels may need more space behind the listener for proper results.

YMMV.

Where are you? You might want to get an audition with someone with 6.1 or 7.1.
