Hi dear fellow members of HTGuide.
I'll be setting up a 5.1 system in a new room soon will be eventually moving to a 7.1 setup in the future. I listen to music in 2 channel and movies in 5.1/7.1 mode, so the surrounds will be strictly used for movies only. The room is a bedroom/theater with a door, so it's not leaky for the sound at all. The room size is 10.5 feet wide, 15 feet long and 9 feet high. With my projector throw distance and resulting image size of 92" diagonal, I'll be sitting about 11 feet from the wall where the image is projected on and about 3 feet from the wall behind me. When I go with a 5.1 setup, I think I'll end up putting the surrounds speakers on the side walls and about 1.5 ft. above my ears and about 1 ft. behind my ears. Or you guys think that I should put them on the back wall and face the speakers at me? Another question, do you guys think dipoles or monopoles will be better for my application? Please share your opinions/experiences with me, thanks.
BTW: the surrounds will have to be on-wall, due to room restrictions. I was looking at either the B&W DS6 or DM600.
