In addition to watching 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 posi-
tion 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 center position of the couch.
If the seating area consists of multiple rows of chairs, the second row should be opti-
mized 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.

The location of your listening position is as important as the careful setup of
your MAXX 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, 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 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 MAXXs will fill almost any room with the most beautiful sound available. Because the
group delay is adjustable on the MAXX, if you take care in placing your new speakers, you
will optimize the MAXX’s performance in your room.
