Ok new house, new set up. Wife Factor dictates Corner TV placement. I am going to use brackets to mount my bookshelves into the wall, so I can go basically into the window apron (ear level) or the Window Head (around 9'on 10' ceilings) If I go into the apron, the speakers will be around 5-6 feet apart. If I go higher I can go closer to 8' apart. Figure into the equation that I am lazy ass, and don't want to mount and test and remount, so I am looking for suggestions. Anyone? Bueller? The room itself is going to be around 15' wide.

Thanks!

Ear level. And before mounting, simply stand the speakers on something at the various levels and distances and see which one is best, then mount them permanently.
