Where do you put your surround sound speakers?

Question

We just got surround sound and my husband wants to hang the speakers on the wall. I think they will look a little tacky just hanging in the middle of the wall. Anyone have any ideas?

Answer 1

On the Wall is definitely the best position...try some pannelling to cover up the ugly wiring.............Of course u could also buy stands for each speaker and position them anywhere at any height

Answer 2

You get the best performance when surround speakers are placed so the tweeters are just above ear level.

Answer 3

On the rear wall about 6 feet up is the recommended placement according to the Dolby web site.

Personally - I prefer stands and try to keep the tweeters on all speakers at the same height, but wall-mounting the side and rear speakers has long been accepted.
