Satellite speaker stands and height/placement
Hello- pretty much new here. I recently purchased the RM 6700 speakers-I need some advice on the best placement of the 2 surround speakers-Polk and others recommend putting them about 2 feet above sitting listeners position--on side walls facing each other. That would mean placing them about 5 feet high.
The problem is that I do not have side walls convenient to hang them. I do not know of any speaker stands that high.
Is it ok to hang them on the rear wall (it would be about 1-2 feet behind the listener) facing forward? Or should I buy satellite speaker stands (Sanus or Omni) that are about 38" high and then place them so the speakers face each other? Thanx for any advice

Welcome to Club Polk!
I would probably do the stands and face them toward each other in most cases. But since I can't see or hear your room I would suggest trying it both ways and see what sounds best to you.HT
