A Guide to Bipolar, Dipolar, & Direct-Radiating Monopole Surround Speakers (PART II)

[SJELR]

I am setting up a 7.1 surround system. The room is 10'W x 18'L x 8'H. My side and rear surrounds are FXI A6. The side surrounds are mounted 3.5 feet from the back wall due to a door preventing them being placed farther forward. My question is placement of the rear speakers. I have a 6' wide window on the back wall so the speakers have to be mounted against ceiling above the window where they can be closer together or I can mount them lower on the wall on either side of the window. It seems the ideal position is right in front of the window so I have to either mount them too high or too far apart. Any thoughts on which option will be better?

Thanks in advance for any help!
