I dont think precise measurements will matter to much - but should keep speakers should be equidistant vertically (and horizontally) -the debate would be - should you have one at ear height as that one could appear louder than the others.... I would think you should have one at ear height - so whos ear height is the next question . Id say put one around 5'10 up the poles - that should approximate average height. Space the rest equidistantly ....
