| There is no room behind, and the detailed instructions for the system don't mention this, only mention what to do if any speakers are nearer than others. Is it best to use only front speakers in this case? |
| No. Install the surrounds. If your surrounds are dipoles, you can point them directly at your listening position. If your surrounds are highly directional, e.g., standard speakers, you should point them angled at around 30 degrees toward the back wall and slight down toward your listening position. If your speakers are bipoles, e.g. planer speakers, mount them on the sides but make sure the null zone for it's sound dispersion pattern is not aimed directly at your listening position. |
| In the end, surround speakers of ANY kind, mounted directly to the sides of your listening position, will give you a great theater listening experience - far better than using just the front three. Such surround positioning will not be as good as it could, but then only a very small percentage of people have rooms that are ideal for surround listening. |
| Bottom line is install them, use them, enjoy your theater and don't worry about whether they're perfectly placed or not. |
