NOTE: Once you have located the ideal speaker position you should mark it. A small tack or piece of tape can be placed on the carpet so that your ideal listening spot can be easily relocated when the speakers (or chair) are moved for cleaning, etc. In the event that your ideal listening spot is inconvenient from the standpoint of the room layout and decor, simply slide the speakers wherever they look best.
