If your optimum position is located on a couch, you should center the loudspeak-
ers on the middle position of the couch.
If the seating area consists of multiple rows of chairs, the second row should be
optimized for the best sound quality. Odd numbers of chairs arranged in rows work
best as this will allow a single chair to be positioned in the center. This approach will
also provide the best overall sound for the greatest number of seats.
Speaker Placement Versus Listening Position
The location of your listening position is as important as the careful setup of your
Wilson Audio loudspeakers. The listening position should ideally be no more than 1.1
to 1.25 times the distance between the tweeters on each speaker. Therefore, in a long,
rectangular room of 12’ x 18’, if the speaker tweeters are going to be 9’ apart, you
should be sitting 9’11’’ to 11’3’’ from the speaker. This would be more than halfway
down the long axis of the room.
Many people place the speakers on one end and sit at the other end of the room.
This approach will not yield the finest sound. Carefully consider your listening posi-
tion. Our experience has shown that any listening position that places your head clos-
er than 14” from a room boundary will diminish the sonic results of your listening.
Speaker Orientation
Speaker placement and orientation are two of the most important considerations
in obtaining superior sound. The first thing you need to do is eliminate the sidewalls
as a sonic influence in your system. Speakers placed too close to the sidewalls will
suffer from a strong primary reflection. This can cause out-of-phase cancellations, or
comb filtering, which will cancel some frequencies and change the tonal balance of
the music. The Wilson Audio Setup Procedure (Section 3.1) is the best method with
