I need a bit of advice on where to mount my surround speakers in the new house because I have a window in the middle of one of the walls where I'd ideally want the speaker to hang.

Here's a crappy pick of the wall:


There's not much room above the window and in front of the window places the speaker a good ways in front of the couch. Behind the window places the speaker pretty far to the rear. Additionally, I'm going to add two M22's to the back rear and that would seem to be a lot of speaker weighted to the rear of the room.

The QS8's as my surrounds have 5.25" speakers that fire directly up and down which is why I'm hesitant about placing them above the window.

Anyone have any thoughts?
