Hi Pegleg,

Thanks for considering our fine products!

>We have 2 custom-built entertainment units that are about 6' high with 8' ceilings. Can I put the 170s on top of them? Yes, both are in the corners, too!

Yes.. most certainly. One unique characteristic about the 170 is that it was designed for wide vertical dispersion. This makes the speaker ideally suited for placement above or below the listening position. One thing I recommend is that you place the speaker "upside down", so that the tweeter is on the bottom and the woofer on top. This will help reduce high frequency reflections off the ceiling.


>Another question. If this cannot be done, soundwise, can I put the speakers on the floor, but behind large chairs?

I do not recommend placing these speakers on the floor. They will sound infinitely better if placed on your entertainment center.

Hope this helps!



Good Sound To You!
