I will be getting pre-wire for a 5.1, but since I don't really need them to run wire for a center, I am using the run for the 6.1, which my marantz 7200 can handle, though I am not currently using.

I will be setting the surrounds, hoepfully QS8s, seven feet high with a nine foot ceiling. My question is where do i set the rear speaker? Do I st it at 7 feet as well, above the windows and same height as the surrounds (is it a rear surround?), or do i set it even to the seating area, which probably means i set it on a stand. I am thinking this as i have heard this described as a rear center channel.

Also, any recommendations on A)using another center as the rear, or B) another QS8?

Thanks

Rick
