Doug, that's quite a diagram. I assume you meant for the X to be between the RSL and RSR.

First of all, I thought that the Front Effects speakers were meant to go outside of the mains, but that's a Yamaha question.

Also, you have three (!) pairs of speakers for sides, MS, RSL&R, and RL&RR. You have that many speakers OR amp channels???

What I had in mind was:


Left Center Right


Side Side


RearL RearR


Or:

Left Center Right


RearL RearR

Rear


Which depends on your speaker and amp budgets. Mine is the first one, physically, but the second electrically, as my rears are mono via a Y-cord. My Sides are directly to the sides, even though they're RearL & RearR.
