I am aware there are various threads similar to this but it is normally people who have bought speakers and are trying to decide where to place them. I haven't yet bought them so am flexible in the type of speaker and have the option of mounting to rear wall or using standing mount.
I've purchased my LCR speakers (Pioneer BS22 & matching center) but am having real trouble deciding on my surrounds. My couch is against the rear wall in a smallish room with no option to move forward. I don't wish to mount the speakers to the side walls as I have neighbors on either side so will be getting standing mounts to go alongside the couch or could mount on the rear wall. My main question is therefore: Should I be looking at monopole or bipole speakers? And would it be better to mount on the rear wall or have on standing mounts?
I'm worried that the monopoles will be too distracting directly alongside the couch. Would bipoles be better??? 5.1 system
