Surround Placements Aerial SR-3's HELP


I have a dilema with my surrounds, the Aerial SR-3s.
The speakers have to be 4-5 feet above the listening position, regardless. Not so bad, but here is the deal.
Do I put them on the side of the listening position (which would have about 3 feet to the rear wall) or do I put them on the BACK wall 3 feet from the listening position?

These speakers can be configured into BIPOLE or DIPOLE.

Which should be used in which scenario?

Thanks,
Dan

The best scenario would be to put them on the sides, without a doubt. They work either way but, Aerial suggests they be mounted on the sides if possible. Is your setup a 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1 setup? That will help determine if they should be set at bipolar or dipolar, but you could always experiment to see which sounds better.
