Surround speakers, how high?

[Rob J in WNY]

I would like to raise my surrounds and surround-backs someday. I strongly feel it would noticeable dimension to my 7.1 soundfield. For now, given my living room, this is the way I have to keep it for now (although I have toyed with the idea of changing my living room around considerably to take advantage of improved room response with the setup against a different wall).


Main setup with surround speakers at ear level.


Surround-back speakers (still on their temporary stands) at ear level as well. Definitely will raise them someday.
