Re: Rear Speaker Placement


I went to the THX website and found this:


Quote:
LCR: Front Left, Center, and Right speakers
SUB: Subwoofer
SL: Surround Left diffuse speaker placed at a 90° to 110° angle from listening position
SR: Surround Right diffuse speaker placed at a 90° to 110° angle from listening position
SBL & SBR: Surround Back monopole speakers placed together
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For optimum results SBL and SBR are placed together to enable the THX Advanced Speaker Array™ (ASA) algorithms to operate to their maximum effect. If the SBL and the SBR can not be placed together, refer to the pre-amplifier or receiver “THX Setup” menu for alternative configurations to maximize system potential.
I'll have to admit that is not what I would have expected. My initial reaction would be to have mounted about 1/3 of the of the way in from each wall. The THX pic implies that they should be right next to each other, so just to each side of your DVD racks seems to be the way to go. I'd also check your receiver manual. It should give you an alternative.

BTW, WOW.. it looks like things are coming along well.
