Hi friends,

Please let me know the dipole speaker placement distance from my couch and height from the floor for my room.

shoule it be on the right/left or it should on the rear left and rear right?

Its best to go with placement suggestion in the receiver and speaker manuals. Rear placement would probably be too far from the couch.

Your listening position is too close to the screen. Dipole was not the best kind of speakers for this distance/ envelope.

Since the rear wall is too far from your couch, you can mount them on the side walls.

Keep your surrounds within 1 - 2 feet height from your ear position when you sit on the couch...

The base of my Sonus rears is mounted @ 49 - 50 inches from the ground & top is @ 62 inches... ( Height of the speaker is 12.5 inches).

Here is the link for my setup....

Can the left speaker be hanged on the left side ceiling using a bracket..and the right side speaker will be mounted to the wall to the right?

But you don't want anyone to bang their head on the speaker I guess?
Ideal option is to mount the left surround on the side where the wall ends (8 ft from the front?)

Hello elangoas,
Can you change the pics to lesser resolution. They'll open much faster.
Also only a few of the pics are available now.

If you can see the attached image about the rear dipole speakers...

The Both the Positive points connecting the left and right speaker are on opposite sides ...But if we compare this with the sonodyne speakers both the speakers are similar (no seperate L and R speakers with opposite polarity)...can we swap the polarity of the speakers according to this picture

No.... Don't worry about swapping the polarity... Juz leave it as it is... They do a very good job of surrounds...

Yes you are correct,I'm planning to get speaker stands for the rears so that I can change my listening position to my liking.

 

[urindian]

What speaker stands can be suggested for the dipole speakers.? Please give contacts in chennai

Dipoles are better hooked on the walls..... Are you facing issues with wall mounting them?

 

[urindian]

Yes, right wall has window and left wall is a bit far away... Also have plans to mount in the backside of the wall instead of sideways

 

[urindian]

Is it fine to mount the dipoles on the rear?

Hmmm Understand... Even if your speakers are away, the auto calibration will make necessary adjustments... So my guess is you shouldn't have any trouble.... Anyways try mounting your speakers side ways first, run the calibration... If you are not satisfied, then think of other options...

From my understanding, Dipoles are best mounted on the side walls..I would suggest you try mounting on the rear walls...
