rear centre

Willow

Do most peeps use a dedicated centre for the rear centre or a "left over" book shelf ?? and how do I set this up if the couch is against the wall ???

IMHO you move the couch or you use bi/dipoles back there and the latter might be preferable even if you don't move the couch.

I use a CSi30 but a leftover bookshelf will work also. My couch is also up against a wall so I made a shelf and put the speaker up about 6.5' off the ground, it works fine.
Others in this situation have tried putting the rear center behind the couch firing up.

For the amount of input a back center channel actually gets (not too much), it would be wise just to use a left over bookshelf, rather than spending the money on a dedicated center. That back center is just an added f/x speaker, with not nearly the amount of sound output to justify spending more money on a center speaker. Even with DTS ES 6.1. In my opinion, of course.
