A Curious question.

[Istoc]

I since I first built my first HT with 6 Sony B1000 Bookshelfs a Yamaha Center with Onkyo receiver to my current setup with my ES and large soundstage speakers have always had the issue of not knowing how high to place my rears. The sounds behind you in my home theater always seem to be just on the edge of noticible versus being truly enveloping. I believe the issue resides in how high the speakers are sitting. Right now I have my rear tweeters placed at ear level which is partially blocked by the height of the couch back. Roughly 3 feet or so from the corners of the couchs location. Do you think it would be prudent to raise the speakers a foot or so to get the tweeters above the listeners ear to make the sounds more prevalent.
