How are your surround speakers set up?
You have them on stands?
Floating in the air?
What are some practical solutions?

I have 2 at the bar corners of the desk. I hae the rear two at the back end of the desk. I can't be bothered to mount them or run wires along the walls. Sub I stick on the table and the centre just in front of my monitor.

Shouldn't you put the sub on the floor? I don't have surround sound speakers for my computer, but I have a surround sound receiver in my wannabe "home theater" system. I wish I could justify blowing money on speaker stands, but they're so bloody expensive!

Front channel on either side of monitor, sub is on floor in corner, and the rear channel are mounted on the ceiling behind my head, firing down-ish. Aesthetics don't matter much as my rig is in the basement. (Where the kids and wife leave me alone....)

S = Sub
O = Speakers
XX = where I sit
.... shows about where the desk is

All speakers are angled towards me. It works pretty well actually!

They're on stands. One to the right of my monitor, one to the left. The sub is sitting on the floor under my monitor. (Yeah I've only got 2.1 speakers)
