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"
>>>>>The CD explains how to move the speakers a little at a time starting from the initial locations about 4 feet apart. You have to start somewhere. The XLO CD does not tell you which wall or how far from the wall to start. The better the room is treated, the better you will hear the best locations where the sound is the most diffuse on the out of phase track - which occurs when the speaker locations are the absolute best. You want the voice on the XLO track to sound like it’s coming at you from all around your room with no particular direction.
2). "Does it start from scratch and tell you where to place the first speaker"
>>>>>No, it only tells you to start with the speakers closer than you might think. Then move them outward slowly, a little at a time. You should also experiment with speaker distance from the wall. No one said it was easy. 😬
3). "Does the speaker placement CD tell you where to place the second speaker, relative to the first speaker"?
>>>>>>Yes. The second speaker should be placed 4 feet from the first speaker initially. As I recall it doesn’t tell you the initial distance from the wall or which wall.
