New Surrounds On Wall

+1 Auxinput is right.

The original surround speakers were on the sides. Only later on was a rear surround introduced.

Of course, what matters is your own enjoyment, so I find myself putting them to the sides, but maybe 1-2' behind my listening position for the most immersive experience, with monopoles pointing straight at me. :)


Best,

Ok guys thanks for the replys, I am not real big on the in's and out's of home theater I am a 2 channel guy. My wife wants this she loves movies, so these surrounds have dual woofers and tweeters facing away from each other. I have decided to put them on shelves in the corner about 3 feet above my head height, any issues with that?

Yes, that should be fine.  Sometimes you are limited by your room. ;)
