movies, most users want to listen to two-channel music at the highest quality possible.
It is desirable, therefore, to choose a single optimum seating position in a home theater
and build the rest of the seating positions around this position.
If your optimum position is located on a couch, you should center the loudspeakers
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
Alexandria speakers. 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, rectan-
gular 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 position.
Our experience has shown that any listening position that places your head closer than
14” from a room boundary will diminish the sonic results of your listening.
Decide where you want your favorite listening position to be. Please remember that
your Alexandria XLF will fill almost any room with the most beautiful sound available.
Because the propagation delay is adjustable on the Alexandrias, if you take care in plac-
ing your new speakers, you will optimize Alexandria’s performance in your room.
Speaker Orientation
Speaker placement and orientation are two of the most important considerations
