Merlin room positions


Hi,

Can I quickly canvass Merlin VSM users. How far do you have your speakers from the back wall?

Cheers,

Monty

In my 24x13x8 room, the VSM-MX's are 60" from front wall to tweeter face, 6'6" apart between driver centers. I'm sitting about 10-11' back, 5-6' behind me. I have Realtraps Mondotraps on all corners, Minitraps on both first reflection points, and an RFZ panel between them on the front wall. After much trial and error optimization and a few very productive discussions with Bobby they have stayed right there. YMMV, but a quick call to Bobby with your room dimensions will probably help you out more than anything.

Okay,

Quick reply as I'm still experimenting with speaker position.

Speakers now 48 inches away from a solid brick back wall - I measured this to the back of the speaker.

Back wall now damped with large rug hung on the wall.

Speakers 6ft apart measured tweeter to tweeter and toed in using the Merlin wooden tool.

Listening sofa moved back so that I am 12 ft away from the speakers and approx 3 ft free space behind the sofa/my head.

Shipped in two pot plants to sit either side of the sofa.

RESULT = much better bass, deeper and more controlled. I think I'm almost there!

Will post more as I experiment.

Thanks for the replies,

MontyW
then have a look at my site's picture gallery and look at the nyc show with the wall reflections damped. immediate and primary reflection points will do the trick.
