I'm finally getting my home theatre in order. I have a condo, and the entertainment room and dining room are shared in a 20 ft x 13 ft sized room. Due to the layout, including location of doors and windows, I was forced to set the room up as follows:
-------xxxWindowxxx------------------------------------------------------------------------Corner 40" LCD TV

I apologize for the poor diagram, although it should still be easy to decipher. "f" stands for floor
As you can see, due to the placement of the L-shaped sectional couch, location of doors and entrances, etc... I didn't really have a choice in terms of where to place the TV and receiver. Currently, I have a two-speaker setup (stereo), and they're located on the left and right of the TV. I have the centre channel speaker sitting in a box, and I will be mounting it on a corner shelf unit that I will install just above the TV. However, in terms of rear left and rear right (also setting in boxes... book-shelf speakers), where should I install them / place them. I'm thinking of wall mounting them on glass shelves, but I don't want to install the shelves until I know the best locations in terms of over all sound output / quality.
Any help would be much appreciated.
