how far off the wall

I undesrstand that a speaker should be given some room to breath, that is to pull it a couple of feet of the wall. With my kef reference fours I found this to be simple. The speakers are enclosed and so i measured the disstance from the back of the speaker to the wall behind it, and advanced it the need distance. With the Martin logan vantage should i measure from the woffer enclouser or from the electrostatic surface. thanks,cj

Duke - I am currently researching diffusion options for some planar speakers I currently have 4' from the wall (Quad 988's). There are cheap diffusor options (Auralex), but the reasonably priced ones are either limited in depth (2-3 inches) or complexity (and randomness) of form. Then there are the more expensive RPG and Auralex forms, but that will cost a bunch to cover maybe 3'x5' behind the Quads. Do you have any recommendations for diffusor options?

Thanks, Peter S.

Im so glad Im not using logans anymore. Never could find the perfect position, I was always moving them around because one area or the other suffered everytime they were moved. They are great speakers however, its just nice to just have to adjust at initial setup and be happy, like with my focus 20/20's.Its amazing how ever new logan owner battles with this issue.

Cj1capp - what are your room dimensions. Are there any windows behind speakers etc. With those informations I may be able to help or not. I also owned aerius i for 6 years.
Setting Martin Logans is a little tricky.
