Proper speaker placement is crucial for achieving optimal sound quality and performance in your home theater system. Here are some guidelines for positioning the Earthquake Hestia LCR speaker:

1. Center Channel Speaker Placement: The center channel speaker should be placed directly above or below your TV, centered with the screen. Make sure the front edge of the speaker is aligned with the front edge of the TV to reduce distortion. Ideally, the height of the center channel speaker should be as high as your ears in a sitting position.

2. Front Left & Right Speaker Placement: The front speakers should be placed at an equal distance from the TV and the primary listening spot (sweet spot). They should form a slight arc with the center channel speaker, with all three speakers at exactly the same distance from where you sit. The Earthquake Hestia LCR speaker can be mounted right against the wall using the AASD technology integrated into its design.

3. Speakers Elevation: In an ideal setup, the tweeters from all three front speakers should have the same elevation as your ears while seated. The Hestia speaker's AASD Technology and Vari-Mount installation system allow for slight angling and aiming of the tweeters towards your ears in a sitting position for optimized performance.

4. Surround Speaker Placement: Surround speakers should be placed to the left and right of your listening position, either in line with it or just behind it. They should form a 90°-110° angle with respect to your television. If you have additional surround speakers, consider placing them behind your listening position, facing the front of the room. The speakers should be placed high enough so that the drivers do not fire directly at your ears when you're sitting down.

Remember that every room has different acoustics, so you may need to experiment with speaker aiming and placement to find the best sound for your specific setup. Trust your own ears and make adjustments accordingly. For more detailed information, refer to the Earthquake Hestia Curved Cabinet High-Fidelity LCR Speaker User Guide.
