Hi there
If you had to choose between placing three wall-mounted satellite speakers under your projection screen (but with reach of a toddler) or above the screen (out of reach, but perhaps compromising the sound), which would you go for?
We are about to move into a new house and the builders are going to re-plaster all the wall surfaces. We therefore have a chance to channel in the speaker cables but I won't be able to experiment with speaker placement before the wires are locked in. So I just have to choose - above or below. Advice would be MUCH appreciated!
The room is approx 4 metres wide and 5 deep. It will have two settees, one facing the other. We will sit in one to watch movies projected over the top of the other. At other points in the day the system will be used to play music. Aesthetics is the primary concern for my wife; music for me; and we both enjoy watching movies through the projector. The manufacturer says that the optimum height for the front speakers is between 0.4 and 1.2 metres but "if you have to go higher you can tilt the speaker slightly".
I'll be posting a separate note on bridging between wall plates and PCs/ speakers elsewhere on AVS. Thanks for any advice you can offer.

Setup:
HTPC with high def audio (Realtek ALC 883)
Teufel Motiv 5PC/Multimedia/Home Cinema System (white)
Optoma HD65 projector
Planning to use Van Damme Professional Blue Series 2x2.5 speaker cable
