I have a 5.1.4 in-wall system all Bowers & Wilkins speakers and I have my tweeters to both front LCR and surrounds at ear level and it sounds great. If you plan on doing Atmos in the white paper posted on Dolby website it says tweeters should be at ear level unless you have multiple rows with a raiser than a foot higher to compensate for.
In-Wall Surrounds : Installation Height
I have purchased In-Wall surround speakers. I have a template to cut the hole, but it does not say how high up to mount the speakers.
Installing Paradigm CI Elite E80-IW surrounds.
If anyone has experience with these please advise on height from floor to mount them.

I have two systems with in-wall surrounds. Each has different ceiling heights as well as one room having an open wall to the adjacent room. In both installs the surrounds are placed at 3/4 of the way up from the floor, with the tweeter at about 2 feet down from the ceiling. Sound is full and cohesive throughout pans on HT and music tracks. |
