So is about 2 ft back from the sweet spot on the side walls too far back to have a 6.1 or 7.1 setup if I plan to go to that in the future, or is best to keep to the dolby recommendation in that case (0 to 1 ft)? Since my room is quite narrow I would go with 6.1 over 7.1 with a qs8 dead center in the back wall.
How does everyone test to see what placement positions they like the best? Do you set these up on 5 of 6ft ladders to see where you want them? These speakers are very awkward to hold let alone stand on top of a tall ladder on the bottom midrange speaker and leave them there for a few days to decide if that is the position that you like. I guess I could use some twine to secure them to the ladders if I can borrow two equally sized ladders from a neighbor.
