Suggestion on how to position the back SONOS one Sl surround

Hello, 😃

 

I have the sofa against the wall.

How should I position the 2 back SL:

A) mount them on the wall (facing the tv) or

B)get a “twisting bracket“ so to have the speakers leaned (regard the TV)  and pointed at my ears?

 

When I lean on the “chase longue” of my sofa  I have one back speaker SL just near my left ear while the other speaker is at the other end of the sofa (150cm far from my right ear); any suggestion on how to get the best audio in this situation (the best would be having the opportunity to set the volume higher just on the farest speaker...but there isn’t this option i guess).

 

The hight of the speaker must be at the same of the ears when seated on the sofa?

 

Thanks

Do not put the speakers very close together. I'd put the left one more to the left, say in the middle of the wall, between the side waal and the couch.

As in picture?

150cm far form my ears, isn’t that too far (would I still have a good audio) ?

Not nice to see a speaker above a quarter of the sofa.🙄

Experiment. Using temporary small tables or boxes to support the speakers, try placing the rear speakers no closer than mid wall and equidistant from the couch. This will reduce the significance of small body movements and better serve multiple viewers sitting on the couch.

    You do not have te be in exactly in the middel of the two speakers. Leave the right on on the corner of the couch or maybe even a bit more to the right. Do a Trueplay.

    Hello 106Rallye,

     

    thought I had to be in the middle of the 2 speakers. Are yuo telling that Trueplay will balance the right speaker halso having me seating on the left far away to le right one but near to le left one?

    If yes, that means that the volume of the right speaker will be highter than the one of the left speaker...is this correct?
