Hi folks

I've just purchased a new HD 3D TV and have dusted of my trust 5.1 HT system (Logitec z-680), hooked up the optical connector and tested all the channels.
Everything works perfectly.

My next step is to build some speaker stands and position the speakers. My question is with regards to the front left and right speaker hight.

My L/R front speakers are on a foot stand that angles the speakers upwards (I'm guessing +- 20-35*). Dolby recommend them to be at ear hight but
that would cause the actual angle to go over a person's head.

If I "aim" the speakers at the seated head position, the speakers are only +- 2/3 feet off the ground.

Would this be a problem?

Any advice would be much appreciated!  :)
