B) Corner loading improves the bass response as compared to mid-wall mounting. C) 'cause that is how I always see it in pics of HTs I admire, except where placement high on the wall is not feasible. Never been to a movie theater or great HT that had surrounds mounted near ear level (not that there is anything wrong with that).

Give it a try, you might like the change. If not, let us know why. I'm always up for a change. \:\/
