Surrounds high no wall next to ceiling (1 Viewer)

[Shane Morales]

Due to the layout of my room I'm going to have to put my surrounds high up on the wall almost up against the ceiling. That's not a problem, is it?

The only other option is to put them on the rear wall, which will place them only about 5 or 6 feet further back than where I'm thinking of putting them anyway.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

dolby suggests 2-3 feet above your head and slightly behind but not in back of listening position. as much those rules can be broken i dont. give it a try, if it sounds bad you know you have a problem, sorry i coudln't be anymore help

After fiddling about with placement for a while and not really getting anywhere I threw up my hands in disgust and decided to exchange the surrounds for floorstanders. Now I can just put them wherever.

The surrounds just weren't fitting where I wanted them to go. Anyway, good excuse to get better speakers
