i am getting my new Onkyo HT-S7500 7.2 system tomorow.
my room is not that big so im going with the extra front speakers.
either wide or height?
and for my system were would the positioning be?
With IIz your only option is height(unless it has DSX and that is hiding somewhere...)
Here is the general rule I use for height...
Place your main speakers first. Then go straight up the wall at the edges of your TV to approximately 12-18" from the ceiling. Split the difference between the edges of your TV and where your main speakers are...creating somewhat of a triangle.
