to clint ( SPEAKER PLACEMENT)

[vinny]

Clint Hi,

I have two front standing speakers, one centre, and two shelf speakers on stands next to the couch. I am looking to get two more shelf speakers.

As I see in the diagram I see the rear back surround speakers are above the couch,,,as my apt is small can the rear back speakers be mounted on brackets above the main speakers facing the couch acting as presence speakers or suround???

Thanks in advance

Hello
Some of the upper end Yamaha receivers allow for the presence speaker configuration due to their proprietary algorithms. This has been a feature on Yamaha receivers for many years The placement of the presence speakers is above and to the outside of the front L/R speakers. These can be a limited bandwidth speaker and the effect is pretty convincing. If you don’t have a Yamaha receiver then don’t place the intended EX speakers in this configuration. EX speaker's need to be installed behind the seated listening position
