I placed them about 45 degrees behind my center seat and they work fantastic. I quite hated that I had to drive the screws into the nice finish myself, but at least they were marked (not pre-drilled). I don't use speaker grilles as they are out of reach for my kids and I think the kevlar and wood veneer look fantastic. In terms of sound, I would honestly look for cheaper alternatives than surround speakers if you don't need them for wall mounting. The included mounting and bottom firing holes were sold to me to install in my room.
