Positioning Mythos Towers as Left/Right Main
Speakers
When used as left and right front speakers, the Mythos Towers can be
placed right next to your TV with excellent results or may be separated by
a distance greater than the width of the TV. As with any speaker, a greater
separation (5 to 7 feet or more) will normally result in a bigger sound-
stage and this is recommended from a sonic point of view. Speakers may
be angled in toward the listening position or left parallel with each other.
Angling the speakers in (pointed directly at the listener) will result in a
somewhat brighter, clearer sound with a sharper focus and a more solid
central image (generally, we recommend this), while leaving the speakers
parallel with each other will result in a less bright, warmer sound.
Positioning Mythos Towers as Rear/Side Surrounds
When used as rear or side surround speakers, Mythos Towers may
be located on the side or behind the listeners. When used on the sides,
take care never to locate the speakers forward of the listeners. If the
speakers are placed on the rear wall, it is suggested that they be positioned
fairly wide apart if possible. (For instance, if there is a couch in the center
of the rear wall on which the listeners will sit, try to position the speakers
wider apart than the couch.)
Your Mythos loudspeakers should sound good right out of the box;
however, an extended break-in period of 20-40 hours or more of normal
playing is required to reach full performance capability. Break-in allows
the suspensions to work in and results in fuller bass, a more open
“blossoming” midrange and smoother high frequency reproduction.
