For my room it is a long rectangle with a combined living room / dining area. I would have to say my speakers are in the center portion of the long wall forming a triangle with my listening position. Both speakers are at least 7 feet from a side wall and 1 and a half feet from the back wall. Carpet, upholstered furniture and art of the wall makes for a wonderful sound. Beautiful window treatments from Country Curtains. Archtectural Digest I am ready.
