@shpritz - If you really just wanna spend the money then please go right ahead (and if you have a moment you could also send your C4 Sig's to me...). However, before you do you might want to pay some attention to the comments from Johnny R. True story: we re-did a bunch of things in our house a couple of years back & I now "own" the den w/ a certain system moved into there. I (very ignorantly) initially set things up like they'd been in a prior and totally different room - and they were obviously not as wonderful. Then I started down that rabbit hole of treatments etc. but luckily learned some similar placement recommendations. My placement now is not quite exactly what was quoted but that one adjustment made a large difference - both to my ears and to all the measurements I was taking. I guess I was just ignorant - but I got better. It costs nothing to at least experiment with different placement and you just might get that smile back on your face. And if not - well, then just PM me for my address... |
I ended up in a 10 by 12.5 foot room...it was ported or no ported cabinet?...I was getting a lot of boom...I ended up with atc 19...as yogiboy suggested that non ported cab does work well in smaller room...speakers are just under 6’ apart...have them 40" (front/tweeter) back...sitting 6’ back...about the same as youre given dimensions for youre room...I did get rid of first reflections because of axis is straight at me...that made a huge difference. Just corner bass traps....did a all day set up on speakers and it really paid off...I do listen to same music pretty much...hard to go wrong with the handfull of English made standmounts available... |
Okey dokey. Before spending a lot of dough, moving things around is a lot easier and a hell of a lot cheaper. So based on my room dimensions please send me your recommendations of what you feel is an ideal starting point for speaker placement. I will use measurements to tweeter centres. I have mine currently toed in as well. Fire away @audioconnection and @mr_hosehead... |
The Vandersteen manual is easy.... seriously pick up a math and science based skill few have and it will help you get better sound in any room with any system. print out the 3a sig manual ignore tilt adjustments ( there I would follow what your manufacturer recommends - normally this is a function of tweeter to ear distance but can also be pretty subjective especially with metal tweeters with ring and breakup in hearing frequency. as for toe in IMO most people have too much are you treating first reflection sidewall point ? |
