I’m installing a Sonos Arc, Sub gen 3 and two Era 300 rear speakers to create a surround sound setup in the below reception room.
The 65” TV will be mounted on the wall with an Arc underneath it where the fireplace is shown on this plan. TV height will be around eye level when seated (if relevant door is going to open against the other wall too).

What I’m not sure is the positioning of where to put the two Era 300 rear speakers. They’re going to be wall mounted, and I’m thinking I’m thinking one of two options shown below in blue and red.
The red option looks more aligned with recommended placement, but I’m concerned they may be too close together — there will be a 3 seater sofa against that wall which will be the primary viewing spot.
The blue option is centred better for the room and less noticeable. But I’d need them pointing down and my concern is its too high and goes against the recommended placement from Sonos.

I’d be grateful for recommendations on optimum placement. Given the setup I’ve purchased I really want to ensure it shines in the space I have.
Finally, in terms of mounts, would you recommend the Sonos Era 300 wall mounts or others?
Thanks in advance.
