Yeah i don't think the Wife will be super happy with hanging them down from the ceiling. She is just getting used to the size of the 82's and the fact that the center channel has to sit on a tv tray till we redo the mantel. This may be a stupid question, but with the Yamaha RX-V1800 at 130watts per channel and the RS-42 rated at 75 rms and peek 300 will i have any issues of too much power?

Thank you for your help. Yes, if i mount the speaker on the wall with the window about 2 feet behind the listening postion i will be able to mount the right speaker at the same height. You thing i would be better off with a RS-42 wall mounting or a RB-51?

I just bought my front three speakers and last night I blew out my old rear speakers with my new Yahmaha v1800 reciver. So I am looking to get some new ones to compliment my RF-82 fronts and RC-52 center. My big problem is placement and which rears to get. Attached is some photos of my set up. This is the front view. The couch is 11 feet from the 52" aquos and the back wall is 18ft from the TV. The width is 17 1/2 feet to the half wall and 28 feet to the other end which you can see better in the second photo. My biggest problem is the sides because i have a large window that is almost 7 feet tall on one side and a large opening on the other. And the back wall is not soild either so i can mount both there. as you can see i have just placed the rear little speakers on top of the existing furniture. So my main question is would it be too high to mount a RS-42 or 52 over the window, almost 7 feet high on the right and then get a ceiling mount and hang the left at the same height? Would i be doing wrong to get a pair of RB-51's and place them on top of the furniture again? and lastly do i go with in-ceiling rears since we are about to paint and redo the room to run all the wires and will have the walls somewhat open? Thanks in advance for all your help. Let me know if you need anymore information about my set up. On another note, we are going to be redoing the mantel and going to be flush mounting the center channel into it, anyone tackled this before any word from the wise?
