Ideally you want them behind you with one to the left of you and the other to the right. You can do a search on the net for surround sound speaker layout and you'll get a couple of examples as to where to put them. If you have satellite speakers for the surround (these would be the smaller speakers) than you will want them mounted on the wall (with speaker mounts due to the positioning of the speakers) so that they are pointed at the location you will be watching television. This goes for all the speakers. The receiver should have a set up feature that will either have you inputing information as to the location of every speaker (distance in feet the speaker is from where you will be sitting) or if you have a higher end model than you might just have to plug in the mic (will come with the receiver) and put it where you will be sitting and let the receiver run through a series of sound checks to figure out the best settings based on your positioning.

What is bi-pole?
Bi-pole can be used to refer to a type of surround sound speaker. Bipole surround speakers have two or more speakers that output sound from both sides of the cabinet. If used as side surround speakers, the sound is output both towards the front and rear of the room. If used as rear surround speakers, they output sound in both directions along the rear wall. The dual speakers used in a bipole speaker are 'in phase', meaning that both speakers output sound simultaneously. Bipole speakers create a diffuse surround effect so the location of the speaker cannot be pinpointed. In general, bipole speakers are a good choice for movies and music and are usually placed on the side walls. (from About.com) Second, If your talking chemistry, then you probably mean di-pole.

What is 9.3 surround sound?
The use of numbers to describe the configuration has become commonplace. 5.1 surround sound is the most common configuration, indicating that there are five full range speakers and one bass driver. The five full range speakers are positioned as left, center, right, rear left and rear right. This is a basic configuration to provide surround sound although 7.1 is becoming more common. 3.1 indicates a configuration of left, center, right and a single bass driver and therefore cannot be called surround sound as no sound is delivered from the rear. It may also refer to a left, right, rear and bass configuration, which will produce a sound from the rear. The general opinion is that a single rear speaker is not as effective as two and in order to benefit from rear speakers, the center speaker is also an important element. The manufacturer will specify which configuration is offered in a 3.1 system so it is important to check the manuals and product literature to establish exactly what the system offers.
