Thanks. And follow the same height and angle guidelines from Dolby?
Or should they be mounted on side walls directly across(90 degrees from my head)? If 90 degrees from my head, at what height?
The more I read, the more conflicting info I get.
bipoles should go behind the LP; dipoles go on the sides. In either configuration, surround speakers are typically supposed to be mounted 1-2 feet above ear height while seated as suggested in many setup guides.Quote:

When using Bipole surrounds in a 5.1 system, where is the ideal spot to mount them?
I have read side walls are best, and have also read rear wall is best.
Thanks.

I think he said the speakers are bipole. Second link address appropriate use of bi-pole speakers. Both links address suggested height surrounds.Quote:

Good. You finally completed the circle. Now the OP has both competing opinions.
