Am I supposed to have the midrange driver facing towards the listening position or away when the speakers are on the back wall behind the listening position? I think based on the instructions from Polk, the driver should be aimed away, but I could be wrong.

Can I get a confirmation?

    Left and right don't change depending on if they're side-mounted or rear. That would orient the main drivers to the outside in a rear-mounted configuration.

    Yes, they should be aimed away. Look on the back they're labeled right left.
    I went against the grain and reversed mine. I have the mid driver facing me. I like the sound better that way so I'll say try both ways and see what sounds best.

    That way, when you turn around to look at them, left and right will be correct... ;)
