My AVR is 7.1. While doing up the HT room, I left 4 wires for rear surrounds. Standard configuration- a pair on side walls facing each other, and another on rear wall facing the screen. Each wire is about 1' from the corners and all are 8' above the floor. My viewing position is 12' from screen. The room is 14' by 13'. Given the small scale of the room, I thought it's best not to go with direct boxes but get dipoles for rear.
Questions: (1) Should I go for 1 or 2 pairs of dipoles? What's the usual practice in 7.1? And (2) if I got with 1 pair, which wall should I mount them on, rear or side?
Other equipments - Pioneer Andrew Jones 5.1, of which the 2.1 I am using for my gaming console. I have filled the .1 in HT with SVS PB1000, now looking to get the remaining 2/4. I also have an old Klipsch 2.1 iFi, from which I can use the 2 speakers. I can also use the Andrew Jones bookshelves as well for a pair. And/or buy a dipole set.
Please advise.
