Speaker distance and tow in?????/

Most common loudspeaker/toe-in orientation I've seen involves speakers toed-in to apex of equalateral triangle & some kind of ratio formula. See: http://www.cardas.com/content.php?area=insights&content_id=26&pagestring=Room+Setup

I've also see other room set-up recommendations. See: http://www.audiophysic.de/info/aufstellung/beispiel_e.html

I use the Real Traps method. See: http://www.realtraps.com/art_room-setup.htm

As you can see, there is no generally accepted formula.

Good luck!

Second paragraph should say; See http://www.audiophysic.de/info/aufstellung/beispiel_e.html

Third paragraph should say; See http://www.realtraps.com/art_room-setup.html

Sorry about confusion.

Thats what I was looking for. The 1.2 times speaker dist. I am also going to try and figure out how to pull the speakers out and not get my wife in a tizzy....LOL! While I know it is try it and listen..... I do like to have a "basic" starting point. Thanks Beavis......

PS.... next house I get will have a "room / for audio" so to speak. I envy you guys who have "the room" for great sound.

Some speakers are designed to be up against or very near the front wall. As such, one should not assume that their speakers will benefit from doing this as it can drastically alter the tonal balance, etc... Then again, i'm assuming that you knew what you were getting when you purchased these speakers and that they are designed to be pulled out in the room somewhat.

An old trick that works very well is to place the speakers using a mono signal rather than a stereo signal. I've discussed the specifics somewhere in the archives, but in which threads, i have no idea. Sean
