Hmmm ... IMHO you miss some speakers, let's say two three way upright
speaker for front left+right, a two way center speaker, two two way
dipol speakers for back left+right, and a real sub woofer ... then
choose the correct delays for all lines to get the acoustical center
upto your normal hear position and after calibrating the loudness of
all speaker lines you may miss 5.1 after a while ...

OK it may depend on the movies audio setup ... some pure 5.1 setups
shouldn't be done.
