If you are going for 6.1 the advice is go for 7.1. The main reason for

is that the human hearing system has trouble deciding if a sound comes fro=
m in front or behind if they are both in the same place. Splitting the

As for the rest of the setup, your Rear Left and Right should inline with
y=
our ears and your Surround Left and Right should be behind you.

If you have the budget to stretch, go for this:

a component amp.
