What is the purpose of these speakers? Primary L/R? Surround?

In any case if the speakers are very close to the couch, listener position will become more important. For example, if peakers are placed on end tables immediately adjacent to each end of the couch and a person is seated at either end of the couch, the nearby speaker will dominate. A person seated in the center of the couch will experience balanced sound.

I have the sonos arc and a sub, so I wanted to add two speakers for surround ,but I only have these two options to install and I don't know which is preferable, knowing that as you say the sofa is not in the center of the room so  one side will be unbalanced

I have my surround speakers to either side of my seating position due to room shape and as long as I run truplay from my main seat it works acceptably well 

To put them behind me would entail rewiring for power so I make do and to be honest it works well

And they are just above head height rather than at ear level hope this helps

    so no matter what position I show in the photo, with trueplay it should work fine anyway.  it just has to play with the wiring too.

    I would go with option 1 but put the one in the corner right in the corner and you can turn the speakers to get best result 

    Then when they are in position do truplay it won't be ideal but it will be acceptable 

    I have even stood behind my seat and the surrounds and still get the effects

    On the corner like this but more higher and on the back or couch 

    Or like this lateral of the couch but with inclinate 

    This one is like the option 1 i have in my mind

    Dam you have a lot of speakers 😜

    2nd picture I would go with play around with the swivel direction if that makes sense 

    I had a separate system before sonos with 2 behind 2 to the sides and 5 speakers at the front with 2 passive subs and I prefer the sonos over that

    To be right the TV is at the front in 2nd picture where you are taking the pictures from?

    it's google photos it's not mine 😂 but ok it's better to place them sideways rather than behind and tilt them downwards in a direction towards the listening area
