I'll be installing a 5.1 system in the next few weeks. My mains are 802's and my rears are SMS1's. My installer says to put the SMS1's on the rear wall soffet, which is about 9 feet high. I've had someone else suggest putting them on the side walls. My installer says only dipolar speakers should go on sidewalls. Which one is correct? Also, should I wire for an eventual 7.1 system? My listening room is about 19 feet wide, 18 feet deep and open in the back.

I have a 7.1 setup and originally had my SCM1's on the side wall at the 90 degree position (as shown in the pic below). I hated it. I felt like i was trapped in a pressure zone of rear channel information. I have since moved them back to around the 110 degree position and am much happier. If you plan on doing any multichannel SACD or DVD-A, don't put them at the 90 degree position.
