So, how does an average person go about setting up home theater speakers?

Most importantly, read the manufacturer instructions carefully. Follow suggestions offered in the manual and pay attention to wiring configurations with the receiver.

Most importantly, pay attention to how you place the center speaker.

This speaker is key to dialogue and on-screen sounds. The other speakers provide the added “theater” flair such as off-screen sounds from the back, left and right. Where you place the center speaker depends on where the television is placed.

To get correct placement for both, consider the size of your television screen. The distance from the television to the viewers is best if it is three times the screen’s size. Once you have configured this, the setting of the speakers is easy. The best spot for the center speaker is either on top of the television itself, in the center, or just below it. In some TV's, such as projection television you can also put the speaker behind the TV.

When putting the center speaker in place keep a few things in mind. It's best to have the tweeter be at the ear level of the audience. If the speaker is placed on top or below the screen, line up the front of the speaker with the front of the TV of optimum sound quality.Try to keep the center speaker an equidistant from the listening position as the left and right speakers.

When it comes to designing placement for speakers for a high-quality sound experience, precision is key. Everything revolves around the placement of the center speaker so that is key. A little experimentation with the secondary speakers can give you great results, but keep the mathematics pretty strict for the main ones.

A home theater just isn’t the same without great sound particulalry for movie buffs who want the "big screen" sound that you get in a real theater. A little patience and a bit of expirementing can turn a surround system into a great addition to a home theater.
