from the midrange ribbons. In order to allow for sufficient space from
the sidewalls, this dictates that the optimum room is at least 19 feet
(6m) wide.

Placing the woofer towers asymmetrical but equidistant from the
midrange/tweeter wings will result in better integration of the bass
frequencies to the room. Keep the side of the woofer towers no
less than 16 inches from the sidewall.

The suggestions here are typical in a minimum space. With a larger
room, it is possible (and optimal) to have a layout as shown below
with the midrange, tweeters and woofers equidistant from the
listening position. Still, the woofer towers should be placed
asymmetric in the room with the distances of the woofers from the
