...then they should be about 18" from the ceiling and at least 2' above and directly to the sides of the listening position.

Otherwise, place them where they give the best coverage without sounding too obvious as to where they are in the room.

DTS wants direct radiating (aimed directly at listener), while Dolby has always wanted the surrounds to be "ambient" and not easily localised (dipolar or difused field).

I say whatever works for YOUR ear! Mine are about 10" above and to the sides of the listening position, and about 2" from the walls.
