My room is 19' deep x 13' wide. The couch will be at about 15' back, so about 4' from the back wall. I plan on mounting the side QS8's about 6" - 1' behind the couch on the side walls. Because of the door on the back wall, I am unable to place the 6 and 7 channel speakers any more than 20" in from the side walls, so they'll be about 9' apart. If I could place them more towards the center I would probably go with W2's, but since they would be more spread out I would probably be better with a Q series speaker I think (unfortunately)... Unless the couch being 4' off the back wall will allow the W2's enough room to disperse the sound... I am not sure on that.
What kind of program does a receiver use to change 5.1 to 7.1 anyway? I know there is ProLogic IIx but I thought that was for stereo source only. If you are bitstreaming lossless 5.1 to the receiver, how do you get it to output 7.1?
