On stands, at ear level, away from walls.
Usual problem, london flat, no chance, none at all.
a lot of movies might as well be silent movies
Yeah, dialogue that's almost impossible to hear so you turn it up and then fucking BOOM or they play some music that's 2x volume of the rest of the film.

I read somewhere that this is because we're using 2.0 channels (TV or soundbars) rather that the true 5.1 where the movie relies on the centre channel for voices. Not sure how true, but, like i said, #moarspeakers

I'm all for moar speakers. So do it!
Usual rulez... On stands, at ear level, away from walls.
I am trying to sort out a 5.1 (5.0 actually as the bass might be a bit much) for the same reason, the smaller rear speakers will mean not having to turn the volume up so much.
I have also noticed a lot of movies might as well be silent movies. Crank my soundbar to full tilt to hear them speak.
