I got two second hand BL4000s today to extend my 5.1 setup to 7.1. The BL4000s will work as "back surround" speakers and will be placed behind the sofa on a cabinet (/dresser /bureau), ca 90cm to 1m in height, i.e. appr. the same height as my ear when sitting in the sofa. Distance from speakers to listening position is around 2m.
So, the question is how to place the speakers. I got these nice table stands (see picture below) which places the speakers in an vertical angle. Perhaps they are meant for lower tables or for not sitting down, cause it seems the angle would point the sound over my head?
On the other hand, I could place the speakers on the cabinet without the table stands - but perhaps I would get some unwanted reflections from the cabinet surface unless I place them at the very edge of the cabinet?
Ideally I would prefer the table stands to be able to place them at the back of the cabinet and because it looks nice, but of course I would like the audio experience to be as good as possible. What would you recommend?
