Just got some Jamo's. They recommend 2mtrs to the bottom of their surround speakers.

I would have the side and rear surrounds at the same height, but I know it's not always possible and I'm sure other members will have a solution to your quandry.

Hi,

I set my nephew system up recently a 7.1 setup and have the rear left and right channels on the left and right wall facing down and the 6th and 7th channel on the rear wall facing down - all at the same height

and they sound great.

I going to upgrade my 5.1 to 7.1 by adding another two single speakers mod1.

We both have Orb Audio speakers, same set-up.

Mod4 - Centre
Mod2 - rest
Mod1 - 6th and 7th channel

they are all high on the wall facing down except the centre channel which is above the wall mounted TV facing down.
