Placement tips for Synergistic Research HTFs


I just bought 15 HTFs and will also be making about a dozen of Ozzie's homemade models.  While I will re-fresh myself with SR's placement tips, and I get that I will have to do some experimenting to tailor the HFT effect to MY listening room; are there any "Advanced HFT Placement Tips" some of you would like to share with us?  Something that might be overlooked by many of us?  Or maybe, just a good rule-of-thumb tip for someone just starting to use these?
The tips could be tips for bring out more highs, solidifying the bass response, placement hi vs low, in front of vs behind speakers, on side walls, at reflection points, behind the listener, on the ceiling above the equipment or above the listener, on the equipment.
Any ah-ha that you would like to share?  I would also be very interested in hearing from people using Magnapans.

geoffkait,

You stated, "A very perceptive question, why shouldn’t there be different sizes? Why are all of the original Tchang tiny bowls all the same diameter? Why wouldn’t he have a whole range of sizes? And why are all tiny bowls from other manufacturers all approximately the same diameter as Tchang’s? Did they all just blindly copy his? And why is bass performance affected so much by the tiny little bowls?"

If you are really interested in learning more about why Franck Tchang does what he does, why not email him and ask him, and report back here what his response is? After all, he does say "email me" right up front on his site. That way, there would be no more need for all the speculation and blah, blah, blah.

And then you stated, "This just in!" ... quoting an article from 6 Moons. Kindly check the date of the article. This fresh news hot off the press is from February 2007 -- "just in" a decade ago. Thanks for keeping us all up to date.

toolbox149,

I am in the process of doing experiments similar to yours. I will be very interested in knowing how things work out with you.
Sabai, you mean the laws of physics changed since 2007 and nobody told me? If you're trying to convince me that you're a little slow on the uptake you're doing an excellent job.

geoffkait,

This just in -- geoffkait confuses dates with laws of physics. Lol.
geoffkait,

Typical of you here -- getting snidely personal when you don’t get your way -- in a hopeless attempt to save a bit of face.

Anyway, I am very careful when I use the words "just in". You should be more careful next time. Oh, by the way, my wife won't let me date anymore. Lol.
