•Place the surround speakers near a hard reflecting surface, as shown in Figure 2. The reflections will help one pair of speakers to sound like several. If possible, try placing them near a corner (so that the adjoining walls will act as a powerful reflector) to create even more reflections, as shown in Figures 3 and 4.
