In reply to:
Just interested in how people setup their equipment.
I would recommend that you consider monopolar speakers (such as the Axiom m2i) for rear speakers in 7.1. Rear surround information is not meant to be dispersed, and if you want to listen to DVD-Audio or SACD, it will sound much better (IMHO) if the rear channels are monopolar speakers set slightly behind the listening position.
This is the way my speakers are set up, and I feel it is a great compromise solution for HT and music.
