My dad has 5.1's and since he has a desk in front of him and behind him, and bookshelves on either side, he can set them up. He put 2 speakers in the front right and left of him. 2 speakers in the back left and right, and the single speaker in the direct front of him. Then he put the massive bass unit directly behind him. It sounds good and gives you a complete 360degree sound experience.
SFR said:Exactly. ...It all depends on your room. In my room I needed to buy speaker stands for the back speakers.
4W4K3 said:lol if i put my speakers behind me on stands no one would be able to open my door. My room is smaller than my gf's mom's bathroom...how sad is that?!?!? I have L shaped desk though, so if i put my monitor in the middle of the angle i could put the speaks on either corner...hmm...i might try that. Right now i have 2 monitors so one is on either side...
