So I have 2ftx4ft panels. I am not sure how high to hang them. The room has 8 foot tall ceilings around the dropdown/furrdown. The ceilings slope back to 9ft towards the seating area.

I started to play with lateral positioning but need to start thinking vertical positioning.

I have included a photo.

You can see:
1. Panel on floor.
2. Panel 12" up (right).
3. Panel 15" up (left).
4. You can also see max ear height (without me slouching) in blue painters tape (44").

Thoughts?

    I think centering on the tweeter height is not a bad idea.

    I'd do some room sweeps to chart your progress. Ears only will only get you so far with proper acoustic treatment placement. Even moving speakers a bit will change things for better or worse. It's good to see your results as you go.

    Room EQ Wizard is free, there is a learning curve. I use Dayton Audio's OmniMic V2. GIK advertises they will assist you with Room EQ Wizard test results.

    I think for now 16" is good. Too high and there's a huge vacuum of unattended Sheetrock just below where the woofers pulse.
