Speaker Height

[peppino]

Thanks alot guys 1 more question ,should my Rear Surround Speakers be the same height as my Surround Speakers or should they be placed higher?Thanks

They should be placed at the same height as the other surrounds.

I've found the rear surrounds sound better if above ear level for movies. Multi channel music may be a different story.

Depends On The Speaker Type...

The surround back placement isn't going to be as critical as L/C/R and main surrounds. However, if they are direct radiating (not bipole/dipole), it's typically suggested to have them aimed towards the listening position in the same manner as the mains are, regardless of the height.

Bipole/Dipole speakers will be much more forgiving of the placement location, so you may want to experiment with your listening environment to see what's the best location from a soundfield and mounting convenience perspective when using these... -TD
