Ideally the systems should be placed at least three feet from any walls. The
height, at the top of the midrange, should be at ear level. The two speakers
should be equidistant from your primary listening position; the distance
should be determined by the distance between the speakers. We recommend
that the angle between the speakers, at the listening position, be between
45° to 60°. For example, if the speakers are 8' apart, your listening position
should be 8'–12' from each speaker. To widen the area in which the best
stereo image will be perceived, turn the speaker to face the primary
listening position (Figure 5).
It is normally recommended that the
Century Gold
loudspeakers be
positioned so that the high-frequency transducers are towards the inside.
In some listening environments, however, the imaging characteristics may
be improved by positioning the high-frequency transducers towards the
outside. We suggest you experiment with the positioning of your loud-
speakers to determine the ideal placement in your listening room.
