I’m moving to a new house and trying to figure out the best placement for my Era 300 speakers in the living room. I have an arc ultra, 2 era 300s, and a gen 4 sub. I attached a drawing of the current setup. My options for the Era 300s is on a console table that will go behind the couch, but the issue is cord management since there is not an outlet super close to the center of the room. It would be doable, but not ideal. The second is mount them by the light behind the couch on the vaulted ceiling that you can see in the picture. There’s an electrical plate there you can’t see in the picture and there’s one mirrored on the other side of the room that you can’t see. I’ve read that once you get a certain distance from the ceiling you’ll need to invert the speaker. The third option is the add 2 outlet by each vents seen in the picture and mount them there. Let me know what you think and if you need more info or pictures.

Guessing the Arc will be high mounted, above the shelf over the fireplace? 

On the back wall, below the vents and as low as possible would be my 300 location.

The Sub will be interesting in that space too. Possibly next to the doors on the left where I think I see an outlet. At the front, flanking tne fireplace might work, have to watch the heat though. If you find you need two Subs, a possibility in that big room, the flanking option looks even better.
