Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater question on speaker placement

Hi all,

I'm new to the board and I have a question about QS8 placement. I'm putting a theater in my basement. The room measures (WxHxD) 14'x17'x8.5'. Viewing couch will be at ~12.5-13ft ft from a 106" DLP front projector.

I'm thinking of putting the following in:

VP150
M60's
EP500
4 QS8 for side surround and back

My question is, how far do the back surrounds need to be from the couch to get maximum efect? Back surounds will be about 6ft up on the back wall. Side surrounds about 4.5ft off the ground.

I'm afraid I might be putting the back surrounds too close to the viewing spot.

Thanks!

Chris
