Don't think it's a good idea having any surround speaker very close.

As an aside, in the eighties I used to visit friends that had horrible ideas where to place stereo speakers. Either Diagonally across rooms, Left in one room and the Right in another, or both stacked side by side or stacked on each other.
Now I'm visiting people that have placed all their surround 5 or 6 speakers and subs neatly underneath the TV ...

Hahaha
I`m thinking maybe a DVD player with surround built-in, I`m going to end up with an extra box under the telly anyway....
I think I need to pay a visit to my local Curries and/or A/V shop to get some more advice on setting this up correctly....

You can have the rear speakers just behind your chair on each side, on most systems you should be able to adjust the delay between front and rear so that the sound from the rears doesn't hit you before the fronts (not so much of an issue in small rooms). You should also be able to adjust all the speaker volumes relative to each other to compensate for any that are nearer or further away to your seating position.
There's a good THX Surround test DVD floating about the 'net which gives you all the movie clips and test sounds you need to set up and show off your surround system.

The disk is called: THX Demo Disk 2 I got my demo disk off Home Cinema Choice magazine.

>>Which issue?
There is nothing printed on the disk to give any indication of date, but I'm guessing it would have been around oct - nov 2007
