I like what Paul and others have said more or less, if it works bone't fix it.

BTW, beforehand, I had some pretty nice bookshelf units running on the B side at the same time as my floor speakers. I placed them high sort of like you see some of the trick Bose set ups and they brought a lot of mid range brightness to the overall sound, given the room in which my stuff is located, of course.

BTW, that room is 15 X 15 and full of siht on the walls and lots of furniture to absorb the sound. I mean like this room is dead, sound wise.

I've walked into many houses in my line of work, maybe at my peak a 100 a year, and have seen every sound system there is spare some 25 grand $et (which I have seen and heard one) and I don't like big rooms sparsely furnished with hard surface floors. Yet I see this more often than not. The sound is irritating at any elevated volume.

You guys might criticize me but the last thing I like is those tiny Bose cubes way up in the corners and out about 2 feet supported by a sub buried in the coffee table. The sound is coming from everywhere. I like to face the sound. Maybe that's why I hate the movie theater.

I do headphones now and then but not my favorite these days. Ear buds are nasty. No depth.

Need to mount the tiny Bose cubes at the same level as you listen...so chairback/sofa height.
