Speaker Positioning - ProAc D30RS

Hi everyone,

I wondered if you could help? I have ProAc D30S's and I am trying to get the positioning right. I am slightly confined by room width which is 262cm wall to wall.

If you dont mind me asking, how far apart are your speakers and how close to the side wall are they?  It is a bit of a compromise for me and a challenge to get the best position.

Currently my speakers are 6ft apart. Do I go further apart? if I do they will be close to the side walls!

What's best closer together and further away from side wall or wider and closer to side wall?

The D30S's have downward-firing bass port so that helps.

Oh the dilemma!! :-)

Many thanks

Gary

Wow those Podiums are not cheap! 

I may start with some Iso- Acoustics Gaia, better than just spikes.

Yes just joking about the Moab :-)

Thanks for your thoughts and advice.

People who have compared say the Podiums are a lot better than Gaia. Rather than spend a lot on something not that good, if you want to save money I would go with Nobsound springs. Probably better than Gaia but at $30 for 4 you will be happy if they even come close. I used them under a lot of my gear until upgrading to Pods and Podiums. They are quite good, you cannot judge by the low price, crazy good for the money.

Hi Millercarbon,

Would you put the speaker base flush on to the Nobsounds or keep spikes in and spikes on to the Nobsounds?

Many thanks
