Thanks Alan,
We didn't trade any direct emails so it must be deja vu. :-)
Anyway, I'm rather new to this so I'm sure my terminology isn't quite correct. What I was referring to by the "rear surrounds" are the rear speakers for a 7.1 setup. I plan on putting together a full 7.1 setup - 2 surrounds for the sides and 2 for the back. My theater area is essentially one end of a long room so I have a front wall (where the screen is) and side walls but open space to the rear. I've read that some speakers are designed to placed so they reflect off the walls so I was wondering if the lack of a rear wall would affect this. From what you and others have said I gather it shouldn't be a problem but I just wanted to be sure.
Thanks,
Jason
