Hi,
I currently do not have a surround receiver, but, am planning to in the future, once the wife gives the OK :emoji_thumbsup: ...
I currently have a Marantz SR63 with a pair of Boston CR85's as my fronts. In my opinion, and I'm not an audiophile, they sound great together. My TV is a 32" Sony Wega.
I would like to know first of all, should I bother with rears if I'm not getting a surround system? Or will rears help my current set up? I thought that it might help fill the room up? My room is 18'x15'.
Because of my room and furniture configuration, my TV and fronts are in a corner. No choice on that, wife said so.
I need advice on the placements of the rears, and whether I should monopole, dipole, tripole, greased pole....need some help.
I am going to try to attach a diagram of my room. Can I get some advice on rear speaker placement? Yhe wall behind the main couch is out of the question, as we have a nice painting there....and rears there wouldn't look good.
I'll try again if it didn't attach well. How do you insert a file into the message?
Thanks.

Sounds like you are ready to step into the home theatre arena so yes, you will need surround speakers, and down the road a subwoofer too which adds to the experience greatly.

When you get your surround receiver then you can buy the surround speakers, if you do not have a centre channel speaker then you will need on of those as well (sits atop TV), and as I mentioned, you can get the sub after that.
