Q: I’d like to mount the front speakers on the wall, however I’ve been told that they should be some distance from the wall. Will this be a problem?

A: Normally in a stereo system, the speakers should be spaced some distance from the wall for best imaging. However, a home theater system is a different situation. In this case, the surround channels create a three-dimensional soundscape that pulls the image out of the front speakers and surrounds the listener with sound. Therefore spacing away from the wall is not necessary.
