Michael Jackson and "the Cow"....
Anytime we have a discussion regarding multiple speakers and surround sound I must laugh and think about the 360-degree sound experience that Michael Jackson was experimenting with back in the 80's by recording a Cow (mooing) with microphones placed in a sphere-like pattern completely around the cow. Then, for playback if you had speakers replacing where the microphones were, the idea was that the listeners could have "perfect placement" of the reproduced sound of the cow. Didn't work out in the end. He sucked. Or should we say ....well, Michael Jackson and Cows....that's just gross.

So if i understand correctly my set up should be:
Front L&R the big/main Aegis speakers
Center
wall mount surrounds
and move the second set of surrounds to behind me?
Thanks!
Go to the Dolby website. There is a link for room and speaker setup.
