surround speaker placement (1 Viewer)

[DaveD']

Hi guys, for my new rears I'll be picking up Polk Fxi3's. In the pics below is where I could possibly place them. Being that there's a short wall right behind the viewing area would placing them where I've circled in red(in dipole mode) be more advantageous than mounting them where I've circled in green? Or would the sound still reach me fine(remember; wall)by putting them on the rear wall, circled in green(in bipole). Thanks



Note: Model of me not drawn to scale. and the rest of my new equipment is below, yippee!

Center - Polk CSi3
Sub - Velodyne DLS-4000
Receiver - Pioneer VSX-509s(from old setup, will replace in the future)
DVD - Toshiba SD-3109(^^ditto)

So does a basket of dirty socks act as a HDTV tuner or what?

 

[DaveD']

Yup, and so do the shot glasses, j/k, and that's clean laundry!

I'd go with the red option and if necessary play with moving the couch out just a bit.

 

[JamieS]

I also vote red.

 

[Kevin Stewart]

Definately red.

Red, dipole.

Red is closer to The Dolby Guide to Home Theater Sound specs if that means anything to you.
