5.1 Setup for My HT

[tlmaclennan]

Hey guys,

So I'm setting up my first home theater and I had a question about speaker placement for a 5.1 system. I know what a traditional system should look like, but my setup is not in a large enough room to allow the surrounds to be on my side. I mounted them on the rear wall pointing down and toward the center seat, much like crazyBLUE did with his rears. Here is a picture I drew in paint.



The TV is on a desk with the fronts and center and the sub is under the desk. The skinny black box next to the desk is the door. The red square is my futon bed which we position as a couch when watching movies. The purple objects are the speakers. The gray box in the corner is my computer cabinet and receiver stand, while the black box is a bookshelf. The green is a closet up to the ceiling...this is why I can't mount the speakers to the side.

Are there any suggestions on a better setup?
