More on QS4 placement for surrounds - 12/19/03 02:25 AM
I have a similar problem as fiveptone (he posted about this).
My situation: I'm currently using Mirage OM250s (floorstanders) as rear/surrounds (in the back corners). They're fine and dandy, but my seats have high backs that totally destroy the sound field. I don't have anywhere to mount surround speakers on the sidewalls (a door on one side, sliding glass doors on the other), which is why I went with floorstanders. There are only two locations on the side walls where they could go. 1) on the side wall about 30-40 degrees in front of the sitting position, or 2) just behind the sitting position, but right up against the ceiling. I don't think either would work.
So I'm left with mounting from the ceiling and angling them down towards the listening position. I'm still not crazy about that though.
Any suggestions?
