DM, I had been wrong in failing to reply. Sound systems are important.
My TV main speaker. "This Topic" is very, very hard to explain, until you, yes you as one buyer, does what I had to learn and do = 3 years of listening and endless hours, days, months, etc.. of research.
The main problem is... most everything we receive in Broadcast TV (anything) is a STANDARD SIGNAL. This primarily means the AUDIO. The Standard signal is BLAND... No surround speaker will get the signal and the front main speaker must do darn near everything....always whilst it is just a normal (produced) signal.
It is not until you have an HBO (any) type Movie, Documentary etc MADE WITH, Dolby or High Business sounds, that your Front "SIDES" or "REAR SIDES" Speakers may come alive. Yes: COME ALIVE.
Here is my front speaker under the TV:

Right & Left Side (5 feet away of TV) are these two sets:

My Smaller Rear, Left and Right speakers:

(Please at least scroll down and read a tiny bit ref: "Controlled Dispersion Sound Radiation" ).
We had a Team survey our Home BEFORE shopping. Setting up the room is vital. It is a whole-nut-er study session related to the Physical construction to enhance pure sound qualities. Then comes the electronics to Power such a system.
I better stop for now. I apologize DM for this slow reply.
