Depending on the number of speakers you plan to use in your home theater, the setup should follow one of the diagrams below. All surround speakers should be at a level between your ears and the ceiling. It is best to have all of them at the same level.

It is a good idea to have all surround speakers at the same height and the same distance from the main listening position. However, it is not an absolute necessity. Make sure you calibrate your speakers after the new setup.
