Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater rear speakers in a 5.1 setup

John is not saying 2ft from the walls, he is saying you want them as far away from "you" as possible, which is why he said spread them as far apart from each other as possible. To agree with his comments, if you can slide them back a little so they are slightly behind the parrallel line where you will be sitting, it will help to simulate the rear speakers you won't have.
