Default What height?

So I have 2ftx4ft panels. I am not sure how high to hang them. The room has 8 foot tall ceilings around the dropdown/furrdown. The ceilings slope back to 9ft towards the seating area.

I started to play with lateral positioning but need to start thinking vertical positioning.

I have included a photo.

You can see:
1. Panel on floor.
2. Panel 12" up (right).
3. Panel 15" up (left).
4. You can also see max ear height (without me slouching) in blue painters tape (44").

Thoughts?

Try placing such that the mid and tweeter of your speakers is centered in your panel. As anither reference point, mid point to your listening position (head).

NICE PICTURE!!! The height is not critical as long as the panel is around the speaker. If budget was not a problem we would cover the whole front wall as low is imaging from that area. Basically put them how you would like them to look.

Sorry typing way too fast.

If budget was not a problem we would cover the whole front wall as low end imaging is coming off the whole wall.
