Wow! I hadn't read this thread until now as the answer to the original question is an easy one. Whatever sounds best for you given your speakers in your room with your likes and dislikes. When I first hung my rears I used paper clips and poked about a dozen holes on each side; whether side wall or rear, before I found what I liked. Ironically it was where I tried them first!

I have Polk speakers in my laptop computer. Even if I get rid of my mains (fat chance), this alone gives me as much right to be here as somebody that buys the current flagship for every room. So long as you have Polks and play nice you are welcome and encouraged to post on this forum.

I've been into audio equipment for around 20 yrs. My current favorite speaker is also a DIY with Radio Shack drivers. I applaud your effort and enthusiasm. Considering the size of these rears, I would try to put the behind you with a "strong" toe-in. The shelves are a very good idea if you have the room. Make sure to connect to studs and leave enough room so they are not flush/parallel with the back wall. Ear level is best if your room is big enough. If not, tilt them both in and down. I've done the doorstops. This may have already been covered in this thread. I read quick as I jumped to the last page first and wnated to quickly find out where things went crazy.

Welcome to the Forum!

Some day I'm going to ask you what drawing program you use. I like it and would be interested in something like this. I say someday as my Win95 POS is overtaxxed as it is. Good draws!
