I have a 2 channel audio/video system and this position also works great for Video as voices appear to come from the TV screen which is in the center between my two speakers.Action such as something flying or a horse moving galloping one side of the screen to the other extends way beyond my TV's boundaries to outside of the boundaries of my two speakers.
So in 2 channel I can't imagine the set up for audio and video being different. However I have read that the optimal placement of the left and right speakers is different for 2 channel stereo and 5 channel surround sound. Is this perhaps what you mean?
Perhaps something like 2 channel stereo for music and multichannel surround for movies? Some folks also listen in multichannel surround of music and movies. And others like me listen in 2 channel stereo for music and movies.
However I get even better phantom center channel imaging with NO TV in the room. I was without a TV for many years, with the same speakers, preamp and amp I have now and the imaging and realism was to a higher level with no TV monitor in the room. However I like movies and TV and can't afford anything larger than a studio apartment so what can I do? If I was rich I would have two rooms, one for stereo music only and one for stereo video only with large TV. I abhor surround sound.
