Hello,
My name is Stephen Jenkins, I'm a 21 year old college student and I've recently been biten by "the bug" as it seems to be called on these boards! I've lurked in these forums for about 6 months, gathering opinions and ideas, and I must say, I've learned a lot.
EDIT:
I realized how boring this post is, so here are some of my favorite things:
Movies:
1. Rushmore
2. Bottlerocket
3. Seven Samuri
4. The Usual Suspects
5. Citizen Kane
Bands:
1. Pedro The Lion
2. Radiohead
3. The Gloria Record
4. The Anniversary
5. Jimmy Eat World
EXTRA INTERESTING FACT: I have dual citizenship between the U.K. and the U.S.
Well, after much planning, I went ahead and ordered my speakers and receiver that will go with my 32" Wega.
My main concern was price, and making the best, most futureproof sounding system for as cheap as possible, while still have high-quality sound. In other words, cheap, but not too cheap.
So right now sitting in boxes unopened my living room are:
JBL NSP-1 5 speaker package: $250
Pioneer VSX-D811S - $320
Sony SA-WM40 Sub - $160
110 Ft. Home Depot 12 guage speaker wire - $40
-----------------------------------------------
Total: $770 (includes all shipping)
I know these components aren't the highest quality, and I'm not expecting to be blown away, but do you guys (and gals) think I did okay???
Now for the real question.... I figure since I never posted the cliche question, "What kind speakers/reciever should I buy?", I'm good for one newbie question now.
Okay, so I've got all this stuff in boxes and I'm ready to install and I need help with the speaker placement. So, to make things easy, I've taken pictures of the room in question, and labeled different key points with letters.
Here are the pictures:

I think I know the fronts will go either side of the two columns (points F and G) ,on the outside, not where the speakers are now. But my main question is, where do I put the surrounds, and how should they positioned???
I hope I haven't bored anyone to death. Thanks in advance for your welcome to the forum....
Regards,
Stephen
