I think we've settled on a house that has a room which is symmetrical and is a rectangle roughly 13 x 15 feet, with thick carpet.

Some time ago I read that the best room would be a rectangle with the main speakers on the shorter end. Also, that the left and right speakers should occupy the the left and right ends of a equilateral triangle, and that the best spot for the listener would be at the remaining corner of the triangle.

Additionally from what has been said, human hearing is not accustomed to sound from above. Therefore, placing surrounds in the ceiling is a bad idea.

Is that somewhat correct?
