Okay, I am trying to set up my home theater and I have a really simple question. I don't have a flat panel TV, just an old (but still nice) big screen TV. So the screen is about 2 feet from the wall. My question is, how important is it to have the front speakers lined up with the screen? Can I mount them to the wall and still be okay?
Got a tip for us?

That should be fine. They would have to be about 11 feet further away or closer than the screen before you notice a difference in the sound/picture reaching you.
It is worth noting however that the centre speaker should ideally be placed at the same distance as the left/right speakers. If this isn't a possibility, make sure you set up speaker distances.
In fact, always configure speaker distance with your receiver.
