Surround Sound Speaker Placement With Couch Against Wall. The best option i have found in this situation is to move the couch out about 1 foot from the wall and then place the speakers on the floor angled toward the wall so it reflects off it toward the seating position.

Robert greenwalt via email a i d recommend against installing in wall back surround speakers in your room since the sound coming from them would be easily localizable. A better suggestion would be to use side surround speakers mounted above ear level or in ceiling ones firing down at the seating area. Thereafter position the front speakers at an equal distance on either side of the tv.
