To enjoy the full dimension available from stereo choose a listening position midway between the satellites
and in front of them so that the angle from the satellites to the listening position is around 90° or greater as
illustrated below. We are aware that 60 degrees is more usually considered to be optimum but in our opinion
the larger spacing angle takes more advantage of our loudspeakers lively sonic qualities.
If the satellites are positioned above ear height then make sure that they are aimed downward at the listening
position. If you are positioning your loudspeakers near a wall or corner, place them as close to the surface as
possible or fully into the corner to minimise reflections. This will also have the effect of increasing the lower
frequencies of the loudspeakers which may or may not be to your taste. Nevertheless the audio will have better
definition and clarity.
The bass loudspeaker can be placed anywhere between the two satellites as long as the advice on position
tuning and phase alignment is implemented. The
ideal
position for bass loudspeaker is flat against a wall
between the satellites, the same distance from the listener. Due to reflections in the room experiment with the
bass speakers final position, auditioning the system from the listening position.
