SnakeOil Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) I am most of the way done with my home theater setup. My room is not ideal but it is all I have to work with. The main room is 12x8 with a kitchen connecting to it in an "L shape." Please forgive the messy cords and cinder blocks as I am still setting up. I still need to choose a reciever that will run 4k and my rear speakers. I have to mount them to the back wall. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Klipsch recommended rs-42ii or the newer 402s speakers for the rear. Do I really want to do that? I thought those were more designed for side channels in a 7.1 setup. I currently have a pair of 160Ms, a 62ii, and a sw112. Edited August 1, 2019 by SnakeOil Spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willland Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 @SnakeOil, Welcome to the forum.

I thought those were more designed for side channels in a 7.1 setup. Their main design function is for side surrounds but can also be used as the rears. If you go just 5.1, then I would place them on the sides slightly behind your ears in your main seating position. Enjoy. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
