Rear Speaker Placement, thoughts?

Options
I'm needing opinions on rear speaker placement. Did a quick and easy diagram of my "home theater" set up; added the potential rear speakers in the only real place I could put them. Wondering how much it will effect the sound by not having them in equal spots and on 2 different walls? I know Pioneer receivers have the MCACC to dial in the settings and delays. But from personal experience, would you think it would be a waste of time to do them? Should I stick with just my in ceilings and just upgrade those to higher end ones? Wouldn't mind a 7.1 set up, might even add another set of in ceilings towards the front if I ever get around to doing the whole ATMOS thing. Thanks again

    Mine are a tad off kilter too. Can you move that left rear more to the left ?

    Other than that, I can see your limitations and your choices aren't too promising. Another set of in-ceiling speakers may be the route to go and you can place them anywhere.. Which I might put wider out from the couch beyond the current ones and more to the sides of the couch if not a tad more forward too.

    I could move the left one farther over if needed. I'm fine with using in ceiling speakers, I'm just curious on which ones I should get? Seeing as I just got a set of LSi's, would it be better to match them up? or does it really matter at that point

    Stick with the in ceiling. Rears don't matter much, just ambient sound.

    Now for the important stuff.

    Let's see that kegerator!

    It looks like one of your rear speakers is right above it?
