I must first apologize if this question has been gone over more than once before. I did a brief search and couldn't find exactly what I was lookin for. I would search some more, however I am not being lazy, but I have 3 kids all under the age of 5 that don't like for me to be on the computer.
Briefly, my system is going to be setup in a 12'x15' room. The tv is on one of the 12' walls and the couches are 2 feet off of the back 12' wall. the 15' wall to the left is solid, the 15' "wall" to the right is mostly open to the hallway. On the 15' open "wall" I added a header that is 1' tall to seperate the hallway from the living room. The reason I added the header was so that I had a place to mount my Right Surround speaker. I just bought the house and am on a MAJOR budget in the HT department, so I went with the Onkyo ht-530 speakers ($219 to the door, I couldnt resist).
Ok, here is my question: I will be mounting the surround speakers at the recommended degree positions to the listening seat, the surround and rear speakers will both be approx. 3'-4' above the listeners ears. Should the surround and rear speakers be aimed down toward the listeners or mounted flat to the wall? I hope I explained this somewhat clear. Thanks in advance for the assistance, and thanks for the awsome forum to learn from!
