so i have a 5.1 surround sound speaker setup (long story), but as of now i can't put the 2 small speakers on the wall anywhere. can i keep all 5 speakers in the front, or would it sound better if i disabled those speakers and only kept the ones on the left, right, and center?

but wouldn't the surround speakers sound strange if placed in the front? i don't mind not having the surround effect for now, i just want it to sound as good as i can with this setup
