formed by the leading edge of the front left and right

Surround and surround back speakers should be
positioned a foot-and-a-half to three feet (60 cm–90 cm)
higher than your ears and titled slight downward. Make
sure the speakers don't face each other. For DVD-Audio,
the speakers should be more directly behind the listener
than for home theater playback.
