living room

In Western architecture, a living room, also called a lounge room, lounge or sitting room, is a room in a residential house or apartment for relaxing and socializing. Such a room is sometimes called a front room when it is near the main entrance at the front of the house. In large formal homes, a sitting room is often a small private living area adjacent to a bedroom, such as the Queen's Sitting Room and the Lincoln Sitting Room of the White House. The term living room was coined in the late 19th or early 20th century.

    Question Is 5.1.2 feasible in this kind of living room

    I'm renovating my house, and I'm planning my home theater setup. I marked 2 ceiling speakers, and I plan to put surround speakers in corners behind the couch. Do you think adding surround speakers is worth it with this kind of setup, or should i just give up and go 3.1.2 or 3.1?
