[QUOTE="Carnajo, post: 936546, member: 4842"] For what it is worth I agree. Due to room limitations (I have a staircase behind our living room) the rear speakers had to be installed high up in my setup. With the right angling down of the speakers and with some room correction applied they absolutely do sound like the effects are coming from behind me and not above. It is amazing how our brain determines direction of sound based on tone/pitch/etc. cause we only have two ears at the end of the day (hence why binaural soundtracks can work for headphones) and when it is a helicopter it sounds "above" me but other effects sound "behind" or even "below".
