shelly is definitely right garbru. I worked in the audio department in circuit city for 2 years. Everything I have read says to put the sub on the floor and about a 1/2 foot to 1 foot away from the wall, corner is best, for the best bass distribution. Good choice on the speakers. I'm a speaker fanatic, I've got polks running off my stereo/dvd player and klipsch running on my puter. Lady up stairs doesn't appreciate it, but I do!
