Cornwall IV speaker placement guidance

The Cornwall IV is a front ported speaker ( CWs always has been, as far as I know ), designed to have greater versatility with room set up, corner or against a wall ( not necessarily out in the open back then, although it works ). The owners I speak to all like them close ( closer ) to the rear wall, and a few even in / near corners. I never liked them in corners. The Klipschorn is another story. I only suggest that the wall behind the CWs have some acoustic deadening, to eliminate 1st reflections ( this is completely different topic altogether about room acoustics ). Watch a YT video by " The Boston Audiophile " on damping the horns of the CWs, as I had suggested to him. Enjoy !

BTW....nice room and gear. I am not seeing your listening chair, but based on what I am seeing, you have way too much toe in. Is it possible to grab a computer chair and sit right at the toe in axis they are at now. This will simplify the toe in experience by adjusting yourself to them, and your ears will be farther away from the side walls and the rear wall.

Thanks! I added a pic of my listening chairs to my profile. That is the other Challenge I suppose. I know the "perfect" audio system has one chair or sweet spot, and I get that 100%, but in reality I am often listening with another person, so I set up two comfortable chairs. Thus... the challenge. 

Currently (as a place to start) I have exaggerated the toe in to try and give both chairs a great sound. The right speaker is facing the left shoulder of the left chair and the left speaker faces the right shoulder of the right chair. so the sweet spot axis crosses at dead center about 1' in front of both chairs. This "seems" to sound great, but other suggestions to try are welcome!

Hello,

I use CWs myself and experimented with several listening positions before settling. I used the golden triangle rule, some call this the cardas method. Look it up and see if that'll help. I am firing towards the short side of my room which sucks but I had no choice. So because of this, bass is a bit too boomy. I am at least 6ft from the corners, speakers are spread 6.5ft from cone center to cone center. 6.5ft from listening position of course. Speakers are 22" from the wall on the one corner and 20" on the other corner from the wall (toe in). That seems to be perfect overall for my situation. Sub sits dead center between the two speakers but slightly back. Hope this helps in your voyage. 

Try toeing them back out a little. Seems like your listening position is far enough back. I have the CORNWALL III’S and my listening position is closer than yours but not so much toed in. Check out my system. Nice setup by the way.
