Hope you're not trying to be a comedian for a living in the future.

Kana: Are you sure that's right? Just asking, because on another message board I recall hearing of a ceiling center and a floor center!

Y'all have to consider that surround satelites are rather small. If you're trying to setup a surround system on a desk, then your hooped, but mounting them on walls will allow lots of room.

<< It's gettin' a little crazy. >>


Nah not really - it's all about realistic sound, nothing wrong with 7 speakers. Now when they unleash 37.4 upon us, then it's gonna be a little ridiculous...
