I am a believer of the one-third, one-third rule as a guideline. The listener should also be seated away from the speakers the approximate difference separating the speakers plus 5 to 10%. As the previous post stated, these are starting points as each room is different. Tube traps, accoustic wall panels, diffusors, etc. are all used to make up room dificiencies. An example is a point many overlook is the floor of the listening room. If concrete is under the carpet, tube traps are rarely needed if the room has adequate volume.
Speakers room positioning - diff tricks ?
Dear All, with Tube traps analyst suggestion, my speakers ended up positioned with 1/3 on their back with the listening position 1/3 from the back wall.
Wondering when this is the best trick to position speakers or shouldn't be just one of the many. For example I recently read the Cardas white papers and it seems to me that the speakers will ended up about 1/4 from their back wall and the couch 1/2 in the room, much different from Tube traps advises.
To wrap-up which one of the following is the most used ?
1- Tube traps room study
2- The speaker manufacturer manual advise
3- Just your ears ?
Tks for commenting. Soon my Avalon will arrive !
