filtering, which will cancel some frequencies and change the tonal balance of the music. Adhering to the
Wilson Audio Setup Procedure outlined in this section is the best method with which to position your
loudspeakers.
A very important aspect of speaker placement is how far from the back wall to place the speakers.
The closer a loudspeaker is to the back wall, the more pronounced the low bass energy and centering of
the image will be. However, this comes at a definite reduction in stage size and bloom as well as a dete-
rioration of upper bass quality. You must find the proper balance of these two factors, but remember, if
you are partial to bass response or air and bloom, do not overcompensate your adjustments to maximize
these effects. Overcompensated systems are sometimes pleasing in the short-term, but long-term satis-
faction is always achieved through proper balance.
To make correct in-home set up of the Alexia V possible without test equipment, Wilson Audio has
measured the correct geometric time domain alignment for different distance/ear height combinations. By
measuring the distance from the speaker to your ear (measured on the floor from the bottom/front of
the woofer to directly below the ear canal) when seated in the listening position, as well as height of
the listener’s ear (the distance from the floor to the center of the ear canal), you will be able to align the
system for your listening position.
