I already have a 5.1 speaker setup running at my house but I think I want to re-arrange the SL/SR speakers and add a rear. What I am looking for is input on what would be my best choice, knowing that the shape and size of my room is not ideal.

I use my setup for DVD, Xbox and watching basic cable TV. I do not care to listen to any radio or CD's.

Current Equipment:
- Denon 2802 Receiver (supports 6.1 with single rear speaker)
- 2 x Infinity Interlude 60 (uses 12" 500W subs)- FL/FR
- Infinity Interlude 36C - Center
- 2 x Infinity OWS-1 - SL/SR

The URL below is a schematic I put together which shows the shape of my room, what I currently have and my ideas for changing it. I need to buy a rear speaker and mainly need to know:
1. Would I be best with a monopolor, dipolor or tripolor rear knowing the shape of my room and that I am getting only 1 speaker?
2. Would the moving of my SL/SR speakers help as I raise them and move them further from listeners? I feel I am too close to get a good surround effect.
3. Suggestion for what rear speaker to get under $250 based on the type determined in question 1?

Sorry for the long message and I appreciate any suggestions.

Read through these few pages, I think the information (though THX related) will be a big help to you.
