Placing your speakers correctly
type: item
description: Apparently, there is a 'right' way of placing your speakers so they can sound great. I have come across information that placing the speakers up near the ceiling or tucking them inside a cabinet may not make you get the best sound quality. So I am always wondering what the proper way is?

description: I can only answer this from my perspective, which is "old school." I have two dual woofer towers and a subwoofer, and any one of these would pull the ceiling down if I tried to hang it. Which I would not do, because I like my home theater system to be a visceral as well as aural experience, so the woofers need to be in contact with the floor.

description: I place my speakers around ear-level, when seated, to get clear audio. I also avoid placing them close against the wall; leaving some room allows for the sound to travel better.

My speakers are not so big but is it ever a good idea to hang them on the ceiling however firm the reinforcements may be? They are currently in contact with the floor and they sound really great.
