My LSi system is in a medium sized bedroom and I've just added FXs and a C and I had some questions. First, my FX's don't say left/right on them anywhere so does the bi/di switch need to be to the front of the room or rear? Second, what height should I put them at? I was going to ahve them setup where the bottom of the speaker is just above the height of my head when I'm sitting. I didn't think they need to be really high, but I wanted to ask you guys first.

    the bipole/dipole switch should face the rear of the room and they should be 2 feet above ear level measured at the tweeter

    Manual - "In either case place surround speakers at least 2 feet (60cm) above
    seated ear height." I always mount my surrounds no more than 1 foot from the ceiling, measured from the top of the speaker, regardless of the speaker.

    The knob goes to the rear of the room.

    The left or right designation is part of the serial number. Do you have one?

    I guess not.

    I did read the manual but wanted to get other HT ppls' input. This is the first HT I've done in a few years and I want to make the most of it.

    Well, you're all set now unless you have more questions. If you're rocking LSiFX rears, you're going for a pretty cool HT.
