Hi all,

I'm looking for some help with the placement of my satellite speaker
system it is a Denon 6.1. First off I'm wondering at what height
should the speakers be mounted in relation to the floor? Should they
be at ear level when sitting in the normal position for watching TV,
if not, above or below ear level by how much? Maybe half way between
the floor and ceiling?

The rear left and right should be 110 degrees from the listening position,
say your TV in front of you be 0 degree; they should be about 1 meter above
your hearing level.

Next the speakers came with a floor plan drawing that shows the
placement of the speakers in a standard square room (which is what
mine is). They show the three rear channels point directly toward the
front not angled at all, the front left channel angled toward the
right and the front right channel is angled toward the left? Does this
sound about right?

The rule of thumb is: for 6.1, you are not suppose to hear your rear left
and right directly. The front speakers placement sounds right like that.
Don't forget NOT to juice the rear speakers too loud.

I really want to figure out the best placement for the speakers as I'm
going to mount them directly to the wall and don't want to poke extra
holes if I don't have to. Also I'm thinking of using the screw slot on
the back of the speakers for mounting, sort of like hanging a picture,
any thoughts on this. I'm trying to avoid stands because of the
possibility of our dog knocking them over.

Yes, screw them...

You are pretty much on the right track. Enjoy your home theatre system,
turn it up loud...
