Hey Beans,
Check
this thread for Axiom owners near you. Be sure to peruse the entire thread for those who have added their location after the initial list was compiled. If WNY means Western New York, Ray3 is in Rochester.
The Axiom FAQ says:
"
Ideally, surround speakers should be either wall-mounted or stand-mounted to either side of the couch or primary listening area, from one to six feet higher than seated listeners' ears, and slightly forward or rearwards of the listening area if you wish. Axiom's Quadpolar surrounds are especially versatile and can yield excellent performance with stand or wall-mounting to the rear as well as at side locations."
I have no experience with B&W speakers, but read
this short thread for more info.
