Laser recommendation for Spkr set-up?

Just ordered one any tips on using it?

Thanks,

Boys and Girls...this is not the way to use a laser to set up the speaker. You don't want to point the laser at the listening position. Here's how to do it:

First use a level and level your speakers. Turn your laser on and put it on top of one of the speakers. Get a postit (those yellow stickums) and place one of these at the back wall of your listening room, centered between the speakers. Slowly rotate the laser (the red dot will move on your back wall - behind your listening position. Make sure you keep the laser flat against the top of your speaker. Put a dot where the laser strikes the postit. You may have to raise or lower the postit to accomodate the laser dot. Put the laser on the other speaker and again swing the dot left/right, until it aligns with the black dot on the postit. If it doesn't align, you have to raise or lower the angle of one of the speakers. You will be amazed at the solid image your speakers are now able to provide. Enjoy.

I don't know if this matters to you or not, but the Bosh I have only does feet. No inches. If you need to measure in inches, you have to manually convert. Metric doesn't have this problem. Also, I don't know Bosh does it this way with all their models, or just mine. I'm pretty sure Makita's do inches, but I think they cost a little more.

Follow Stringreens advise
Start also by downloading the very excellent golden ratio instructions for Vandersteen 5 a setup.
Ignore the stuff about filters and bass eq.
Too much toe in and point at ears is not a good idea.
To much rake also bad..you will have to experiment..
Your ears are better than the best laser..

I use a technique similar to Stringreen. I center the laser in the middle of the speaker cabinet and shoot a beam behind the center of the listening chair. My particular speakers recommends a position 2 meters behind the listening positon as the center point. I have a music stand that I set up with a piece of paper on it and a target on it for the center. You can adjust the speakers toe in and height for each one to hit that mark. I also use the laser to measure side wall and rear wall distances.
