Speaker placement Advice

[BW4me]

I'm considering the CDM1NT's as rear speakers in a 5.1 set up with the fron three in the CDMNT series already. I thought of placing them on a plant shelf behind where we would sit. The speakers would set eight ft high and they would be fourteen ft behind sitting location. This due to no rear wall immediately behind and speakers on stands isn't a p[ossibility with children.

Would this work for rear surrounds or would it be so far away that I would loose the effectiveness of having them?

It's probably not ideal given the magnitude of the distance behind you, but if that is all you can do... You'll want to check to see how much delay you can dial into your processor and make sure you set the levels appropriately.

It should work fine otherwise, often times compromises are needed to combine entertainment with real life

I could go with ceilings. Do you think that would be preferable?
