I need some help finding a good spot to place the surrounds on my newly acquired JBL NSP-1 speaker set. My goal is to find the best placement "soundwise" while at the same time limiting the presence of speaker wire. Since it's a rented apt, I won't be able to put the wires underneath the carpet. The best option I could come up with is presented in the picture(on each side of the aquarium). It gets the speakers behind the main chairs and allows me to keep the speaker wires up against the wall. Is this a good location or will I be suffering too much in the sound dept.? Thanks for your help!

I do not believe that will sound good at all, sorry.

it depends on where the prime listening position would be. i think putting them on stands closer to the sitting area and square to the tv would sound much better.
