Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners QS8 Placement? Backwall or sidewall?

Thank you. I will take heed on your advice.

Looking at other speaker manufacturers who package home theater systems most include direct radiating speakers as opposed to multi / bipolar for surround speakers. It’s also confusing to note that almost all illustrations of surround speakers set ups (even Dolby) visually show direct radiating speakers. What a disservice that would be to anyone trying to set up their HT for the first time when the trend as you have stated is to have multi / bipolar surround speakers. If they only knew what they were missing.

This goes back to my initial question, does a recording engineer for HT / movie end users place surrounds at ear level or above when they work? I'd like to emulate this environment in my home to appreciate all the hard work put into my videos. Also interesting to note that Dolby illustrates at ear level and my Marantz manual shows above ear level with no clear indication of distance.
