In Reply to: How high should rear speakers be? posted by Charm on January 19, 2002 at 20:12:44:
...then they should be about 18" from the ceiling and at least 2' above and directly to the sides of the listening position.Otherwise, place them where they give the best coverage without sounding too obvious as to where they are in the room.
DTS wants direct radiating (aimed directly at listener), while Dolby has always wanted the surrounds to be "ambient" and not easily localised (dipolar or difused field).
I say whatever works for YOUR ear! Mine are about 10" above and to the sides of the listening position, and about 2" from the walls.

Ok, lets say my bed is my listening spot and that my ears are 40-44 inches from ground. Would it be wise to have 40 inch stands and mount the bookshelves there and have it facing each other on the side walls? Wish I could put them in corner but my bed has HUGE and wide headboard (fits almost the whole wall wide and sticks out 3 feet)and almost goes all the way to the ceiling that gives me 1 feet room and it would block the sound so my rear speaker placement are limited. I still don't know what to do yet with my situation.
