To fi nd the best listening position, place yourself at a 30 degree angle from each
speaker. Doing so means that you will be seated at about the same distance away
from the speakers as the actual gap between them. The benefi t of this is that the
direct radiating sounds from each speaker will cross each other at a point behind
you.
IF YOUR ROOM…
a)
doesn’t allow you to get the speakers the required distance from the back
and side walls or…
b) has
highly
refl ective surfaces (ie. glass windows or bare plastered walls)
or…
c)
still doesn’t sound quite right
…we strongly recommend that you damp your room’s critical surfaces. This can be
done by the simple expedient of adding curtains, furniture, bookshelves and so on.
A damped surface is almost always preferable to a hard refl ective surface.
