Question about 6.1 speaker setup (1 Viewer)

[jonathan rubin]

My L/R surrounds are about 9 ft apart...does it make sense to add a center rear between these? (The center rear would be about 1 ft behind the plane of the main surrounds; all are ceiling-mounted.)

 

[Neil Joseph]

That would be almost like asking whether or not you need a front centre speaker despite your mains being 9ft apart. By all means, make use of your surround centre if you are equipped for it.

I'll second that. It will really add to the over-all listening experience!

I'll 3rd that...
My rears are ~ 12ft apart and I just upgraded to a 7.1 setup and love it. GO FOR IT!!!
