If you wish to seriously listen to music these general placement guidelines should help:

The distance between your front LR speakers should be approximately one-half their distance from your favorite listening position.

If you point the front of the speakers directly towards the prime listening position, you will achieve the most precise imaging. You will also receive the maximum amount of direct radiated high frequency energy. If you have a “bright” or “hard” sounding room environment, aiming the speakers straight out into the room (or just aiming them partially towards you) may make for a more natural and pleasing sonic balance.

The distance from each speaker to the three closest room surfaces should be different.

In most rooms, you shouldn’t place your speakers in the corners.

The goal is to reproduce accurate musical timbre and natural sound. Additionally, a well set-up stereo pair of speakers will create excellent imaging and a cohesive representation of the soundstage. Placement in the room and your listening position have an enormous impact on the ultimate sound you will achieve from your system. The most important thing is to be creative! Try placing your speakers along the long wall instead of the short one. Toe the speakers in or point them straight ahead. Pull them away from the wall or push them close. Don’t be timid. You’ll find that moving your speakers, even a few inches, can dramatically change and possibly improve their sound.
