Hi everyone, I’m just redesigning my open plan lounge and the sofa shall be in the middle. My only options to wall mount are either offset to the left and right directly behind (but this about 2.5m) or directly to the left and right of the sofa again about 2.5m or so.

is there a optimal placement out of the two? I could get stands for behind the sofa but I have 3 young children and fear them knocking them over.

my worry is if they’ll be loud enough that far away? For reference I’m running an arc and 2 x sub gen 3s also

Best option would be to place them on ear level with stands. Imo wall mounting at that highs just can be a compromise.

Hi, thank you very much for replying. To confirm, I can mount them at ear height on the wall, it was more the distance from me I was worried about

Ok, in that case I think it could work in a good way, because you can adjust the rears level and also trueplay (I strongly recommend to use) would optimize the setup.
