ADVERTS 1
I hardly play anything that would even be noticable on 7.1 compared to 5.1. I don't have the speaker wire now to run them all the way in the back of the room. My initial setup was to see how they sound and if I wanted to keep them connected. I'm leaning toward disconnecting them instead of buying the wire and crawling around under the house. I don't really have a good place to mount them. Unless it is worth putting them right next to the rear channel speakers anyway. I though it would be worth checking it out since the speakers were free.
Even when I play movies, the best sound seems to come from the all channels stereo setting on my Onkyo 606. My ear isn't that needful for the extra sound from these speakers, plus my room layout isn't that hot for 2 more surround-rear speakers.
Anyone have a good setup for the 7.1 instead of the 5.1 speakers?

Bigger is better!!!
80% of the audio comes thru the center speaker (set as small) . Get a good one and a good subwoofer (placed in front of you) and you're good to go.

I have a 75 watt 8 ohm rated 'Mission' speaker on my center channel. When I set my receiver to play the most sound through the center channel it sounds the best. I'm working on a better sub, but the one I have now is not half bad and it's in front of me.

That being said, my setup is about 1000 times better than with no home theater setup. I've only invested about $300 into the receiver & speakers. I've been given a lot of stuff for free from people that didn't want what they had and didn't realize how useful it could be.
