Normally what I've seen in people's house is that the rear speakers are placed on a stand that mounted on the wall and the speakers are facing straight. The question is that, is there any stand/brackets out there that allows the speakers to be angled a little down to the sofa instead???
yes, there are speaker bracket that allows you to tilt it downwards. I saw it in ACE Hardware. A pair (made of metal, black color & packed in a box) costs about RM38.90. Build quality looks good.i have a question regarding surround speaker placement at the sidewall, at the recommended angle of 110 degree from the front and at 3 feet higher than listening-ear level. do i still need to tilt the speaker downward?

according to here:

When side mounting the surrounds, avoid having these speakers firing directly in your ears. This will lead to localized instead of diffused surround sound direct towards the listener's ears. Direct sounds from the surround speakers can be extremely annoying especially if the sound from your surrounds overpower the main speakers, throwing off the balance between the different channels.
if the speakers are not aiming at the listening position, where is it aiming at? behind your sweet spot as well as above your head ?(since the speaker is 3 feet higher than your ear) does that principle only holds true to direct-radiating speaker? how about dipoles? do you place them on your sides aka 90 degree?
at dts website, if you watch the "designing spaces" show featuring dts, you'll found out that the surround speakers are placed at ear level. is that wrong?
anyone has the dts hd-ma bike racing demo original m2ts video? care to share?
