Music for setting up speakers



Im setting up my 30yr old Martin Logan Sequel II’s. I followed some ML guidelines and it was pretty straight forward. They are 8’ apart and 8’ from me. I towed them in using a flashlight and beam reflection, it was pretty easy, same for the reflection to be sure one isnt tilted forward or backward more than the other.

I’ve been listening to some Tidal tracks and wondering what you listen to to confirm your setup is right for you.

I listened to some solo violin and cello, some folky vocals, some Led Zepp just because :0)

maybe music where instruments are easily located ect

Thanx

you dont understand my posts. i dont necessarly disagree with you,

"there’s no way Pink Noise and a mic can predict the reproduction of an accurate sound stage and image placement*"
accurate soundstage and image placement is directly related to early reflections. Almost unvariably, everyone that treat his early reflections will mention how the soundstage open up.

when you treat those early reflections, moving the speaker 10 cm this way or 10cm will not shift the image like a untreated space do.

therefore, the premise that using music to find the best speaker position for soundstage and pin point imaging is flawed. Treating the early reflection is the solution. if you cant treat your space, sure using music to try to find the best speaker position works great. I used to do this myself, until I treated my space



The question im asking is well after the advice you are offering. Im at the listening point now……geez :0/

its like ur all in the wrong thread, thats a couple doors down Lol


I second and use the XLO reference recordings CD.  It has many uses applicable to a system; im not sure if it's available in an LP format.

Good luck,
Jose
