The best way to ensure this is to set the couch dead center with the tv. Thereafter position the front speakers at an equal distance on either side of the tv. If that s your only option though bipolar speakers placed in the rear position about 1 2 feet above seated ear height can be a good alternative.
I have to use speaker stands speakers mounted on the wall ceiling isn t an option unfortunately.
This can work if the speakers are 3 or more feet behind you but when your couch is near a wall what can you do. The placement of your rear speakers with a 5 1 set up either on rear or side walls doesn t alter the receiver output you would use they would always be set up as the rear surrounds on your receiver. A better suggestion would be to use side surround speakers mounted above ear level or in ceiling ones firing down at the seating area. Thereafter position the front speakers at an equal distance on either side of the tv.
