Hi,
I have been tossing up between RTi6's and FXi5's.
Thanks to those who posted a reply to my previous thread. Greatly appreciated.

FXi5's seem to be the shot.
My quesion is, regarding placement. Do the FXi's need to be placed against a wall? As per the picture on the polk site.

In the pic they are either placed against the side or rear walls such that sound can bounce off the walls.

I need them to be placed in the open with the side wall being a window and the rear wall being several feet away? Would they still work effectively?

Any infomation on FXi placement greatly appreciated.

Cheers Lee.:D

    try it out that way, put them on top of something and see how it sounds. i don;t think that putting them there would be a bad idea. i bet you could pull it off.

    Sure. Buy some stands or make your own. A couple of guys here have done that.

    They'll be fine. You don't really want the sound bouncing off the walls (at least I don't).
