Thanks!


As stated, it very much depends on your room sized and height, how far your listening position is from where the 7.1 backs are mounted and personal preference added in to boot. Tell us the dimensions of your room, including ht. Where your possible locations are for your back speakers (ie back wall or ceiling, side wall is not a good choice for 7.1 backs). We can share what we have learned from others and heard ourselves. Then you blend in your personal choice ideas. Simple... ;\)
