Surrounds for my lsi15's

I currently have a 5.1 setup with my lsi15's in the front and 2 lsi 9's in the rear. I would like to take advantage of the full array of surround possibilities, therefor I need a 7.1 setup.

My problem is I have my theater area against one wall and it limits my possibilities for the left surround. There is no way for me to move my lsi9's to the side as there is a wall on the left and I only have about 5-6 feet in the rear.

The lsi9 are just too big for the back.

Would it be possible to mount some smaller bookshelves on the wall in one of the lower series considering the bulk of my sound is coming from the front?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    The LSI 7's are smaller and wall mountable and works great for surrounds.

    Do you think the FxiA4's would be fine for the surround channels, given I've got Lsi's in the front?
    I emailed Polk and they mentioned they would be fine and they also suggested the VM series which seems to be more of a satellite which I would be surprised if they matched up.

    :confused:I don't know, but to me that just sounds like a bad match.
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks
    Ben

    They will work but the lsi7's or lsi fx's would be the prefered speaker and perfect match. The 7's and fx's would also sound better

    I did four LC65i in-walls in my theater. In-walls aren't workable for everyone though.
