Placement
All loudspeakers interact with the environment in which they are placed. Loudspeaker
performance is influenced by the size, shape, and contents of the listening room as
well as the placement of the loudspeaker within the room.
Krell encourages you to experiment and find the loudspeaker placement that reflects
your personal preference. A LAT loudspeaker is simple to set up and use. Its
unique solid aluminum enclosure produces a soundstage that is both deep and wide,
with little or no toe-in required. Figure 1 on page 11 illustrates a representative
placement scenario. Note the position of the loudspeakers with respect to the rear
and side walls. The closer a loudspeaker is to the rear wall, the more pronounced
the bass response. To minimize unwanted reflected sound and maximize the width
and depth of the soundstage, be careful not to set the loudspeakers too close to
the side walls.
When the loudspeakers are in position, you are ready to attach the loudspeaker
grill, see page 12, and install the spikes, see page 13.
