Proper placement of the
speakers is an important step
in obtaining the most realistic
soundstage possible. These
recommendations are for the
optimum placement of the loud-
speakers. Use these placement
recommendations as a guide.
Slight variations will not dimin-
ish your listening pleasure. The front speakers should be
placed the same distance from
each other as they are from the
listening position. They should
be placed at about the same
height from the floor as the
listener’s ears will be, with
the tweeters aimed toward the
listener at ear-level height.
In a home theater configuration,
the two surround speakers
should be placed slightly behind
the listening position and ideally
should face each other and be
at a level higher than the lis-
tener’s ears. If that is not possi-
ble, they may be placed in a
wall (or in the ceiling) behind
the listening position, facing for-
ward. The surround speakers
