Suggest : Surround speaker position

[Cooladitya007]

I have basic 5.1 HT setup, Denon 250bt & Taga 506 speaker package.

I need suggestion for surround speaker position in my living (ht) room.

Thanks

Sofa against back wall. Where to put surround speakers?

So you are suggesting rear right (door side) speaker on back wall and rear left on side wall? At ear level? If i follow this rear right speaker will be very close to, hardly a foot or 2.

Can you please suggest some swivel mounts at low price.

Sorry for so many questions.

I am little confused, rear right speaker will be facing front wall or the left wall?

Hi. For surround speakers for a 5.1 the optimal placement is to keep the surrounds to the sides of your listening position. Since you cannot use speaker stands to keep them at ear level you can use bookshelf speaker mounts which will allow you to angle the speakers downwards to your listening position. I've attached an image with arrows where I recommend mounting the surround speakers and you can use mounts like these to angle them downwards.

any cheaper options? each one under rs.100? or am I being too naive?

You won't get anything under ₹100.

Thanks for so detailed reply, i also want to install speakers at your suggested position but the issue is i need a wall mount which can be adjusted 45° vertically.
Your suggested wall mounts are good but only 7.5° vertically adjustable and they are over kill for my small bookshelf speakers hardly weight 1.5kg.

What are the models of the bookshelf speakers. Can you share pictures of the front and back? Perhaps another mount will do which is better suited.

@avenue_sound Sorry for late reply was really busy.
