like so many others before me, i’ve got issues with placement and installation for ht rear speakers.

the setup:
  • M40 from left/right speakers (yes, i know old school)
  • VP100 center
  • EP175 sub
  • Q4 surrounds
  • 46” LCD


the main problem
  • where to place the surround speakers?
  • maybe use something besides the Q4’s.
  • maybe use the FMS QS stands – but they are expensive, bulky and not very attractive.

other comments
perhaps the M40’s are a bit small for this room (they were purchased for a different location). however, they work quite well. i’ve thought about moving the M40’s to the rear and getting something else for the fronts – particularly if i’m going to end up spending $300 for speaker stands!

as mentioned above, i’ve also considered using some other type of speaker/stand for the rears. tell me why i shouldn’t be thinking this (or tell me why it’s a good idea).

any help, comments, and suggestions appreciated!
