    Welcome to the forum. We need more info. Room size with dimensions, what gear you're running, and even better a diagram showing where your furniture is. Oh yeah, if it is 7.1, you are missing a sub and a center.

    +1

    As stated, you're still missing a few speakers there.

    Also keep in mind, unless you've got a big living room there's no point in going with a full blown 7.1 system. More speakers doesn't necessarily translate into better sound quality, if it's congested it'll sound worse than a 5.1 setup. I say (personally) sell the RTiA3's and a pair of FXiA6 and step up with a bigger pair of fronts while keeping one pair of FXiA6's. You don't have to of course, just my suggestion.

    Btw, welcome to CP.

    Basics of speaker placement.

    The video is slightly corny, but useful.

    And yes, your missing a few speakers, like others have said, although your speakers are arranged correctly in terms of order...

    I will have to politely disagree with you on that, if you have a good set in a small place shure they will not perform 100% but they will sound better vs the same setup - 2 speaker's (5.1) IMHO of course....

    +1 I'd sell the a3's as well and try for a7's, the FXi A6's make great surround unit's and if you are tight for space they will provide you with MUCH happiness! I would try to keep 'em ;) What are you running for sub/center channel? Also , as previously stated, some more info regarding room size etc would be helpfull :)
