Height
Try to place the speakers so they are close to the same height as your ears when you are seated in the preferred listening area. Also be sure the speakers are high enough that the sound they produce will not be constrained by
Separation
Start at your preferred listening position with the speakers at the points of an equilateral triangle, aimed toward the listening position. (See diagram.) Experiment with moving the speakers closer together and varying the aiming angle until you get the stereo image you prefer.

Speaker orientation
Stereo imaging is generally best when a speaker’s long axis is vertical, but horizontal placement is by no means ruled out. Try the speakers both ways to determine if the difference in sound is important to you.
Any of the a/d/s/
mounting the speakers
Before mounting the speakers in brackets, plan the mounting location and method very carefully. Follow the speaker placement guidelines described in the instruction manual and decide on the mounting locations. If you plan to hide the speaker wires behind the mounting surface, route the wires before you mount the brackets. See the following section for information on wiring.
