same here. mount them high up on rear side walls - the null factor is at point source distances is overrated and distracting with each twist of the head. i think you will be pleased at how organic the surround sound is - better lower frequencies and reflections add to effect and draw attention away from speakers and into film - less hifi.

sonically the best place for surrounds is high up behind you. best if approximately same distance away as fronts but that is not critical. if aesthetics win out then the null point placement is ok. if you can move the couch up into the room (1/3 or even 1/4 of the length of average rectangular room) then your surround system will best approximate what filmmaker intended, especially with dipoles which utilize reflections to best effect
my couch is agaist the back wall (wife wants it this way)some times I move it about 3 feet forward.
