If you can run wires in your attic you can put your surrounds wherever you want. Surrounds are generally above and behind the listener(s). Your Yamaha manual (when it arrives) will have a diagram with suggestions for placement.


While the right s. speaker would be on that wall with the front door, the left would be another 15 feet or so to the left of center. Can the YPAO compensate for that? Otherwise I could always put them on the beam crossing the room, but then the beam would be between us and the ss speakers.

complications, complications.
