Well the Hometheaterforum.com forums are down now, so I'll ask here. If I end up using my Alpha A/Vs as surrounds for Image 2Bs, how should they be positioned? I keep on reading that they should not be facing the ear directly. So how far from the rear wall should they be? And should they be angled to reflect off the rear wall, or should they be angled forward? And they should be positioned vertically two feet higher than the ear, right? Should they be angled vertically as well? I don't think so on that.

I'm confused.

When Viperoni or GTAudiophile had responded, you will have your answer.
