    Logistically it's not a good idea. The larger speakers should be used as the mains. You may like the idea of the larger speakers as rears because they stand up taller, but there are several reasons the larger ones should be used as main Left and Right speakers:

    1. For music-a larger array of drivers and bigger cabinet will make for a bigger, more open sound for music, helping to fill your space with more ease.
    2. For movies-the most information on a film's soundtrack is given to the front three speakers-center=dialogue, l/r=music score and front stage sound effects.

    To place the larger speaker in the rear, where the least amount if audio information is sent, is a waste of speaker and money.

    Hope that helps.
