@trelja - Trust me, I understand that if I do not use the optimal position, I will get sub-optimal results. Unfortunately, I am somewhat limited in speaker placement in the room I'm using. I am limited to one particular wall on which to place the speakers and system due to physical limitations of this room in my basement.
That said, I don't really have any restrictions where the speakers go along that wall. I've got nearly was much width, depth and height as I need, along that particular wall.
I guess my questions regarding the speaker placement CDs, like XLO, are:
1). "Does the placement CD tell you exactly in the room the speakers should be placed"
2). "Does it start from scratch and tell you where to place the first speaker"
3). "Does the speaker placement CD tell you where to place the second speaker, relative to the first speaker"?
If I can place one speaker in approximately the position where I want it to reside, will the CD help me place the second speaker to best compliment the first speaker? I would think this is how it works because my understanding is, that when using the CD, everything falls into phase (sounds correct) when the second speaker is moved into the correct position, relative to the first speaker.
Thanks for your comments and any additional insights........
