Blu-ray Forum - View Single Post - Need advice on furniture/surroud sound speaker placement

Hello everyone,

I am new to the world of HD and have a ton of equipment coming in soon. Here is my setup:

Samsung LN40A650
Onkyo TX SR606
Sony PS3 Blu-ray player
2 x Polk Audio Monitor 50 Floor Speakers
1 x Polk Audio Monitor Series CS1 Center Channel Speaker
14 guage wiring + banana plugs

As you can see, I will be starting with a 3.0 setup and upgrade from there. I would really like to get a pair of surround speakers (one of the polk monitor surrounds), but I have no idea where I'm going to put it. My current furniture layout makes it difficult to spread 2 rear speakers enough to give me that "surround sound" experience. What I need is some advice on where I could put the surround speakers or what pieces of furniture I should move around so I can have good placement of the rear speakers. There are 3 items that I cannot really move though: the 2 large tables and also the direction of the bed. It has to do with my Feng Shui, so the tables must stay where they are, but the bed can be moved around as long as it is in the same orientation (parallel to the window). Here is a picture of my room layout:

Blue = Window/Closet/Door (from left to right of the drawing)
Green = Bed
Brown = Tables (the 3 small ones are easy to relocate)
Black = Chair
Grey = where I plan to setup the TV and speakers

I'll be viewing the TV either from the chair or the bed. Any input?
