Laser measurement for speaker position

  Maybe clearthink isnt thinking so clear. I have used a similar method before ,a more primitive approach with a lazer light to get toe-in set  at the seating position and a good old fashion tape measure ....but i understand your approach.

The laser level is a practical, useful, and time-saving approach especially if you are also planning, intending, and expecting to have really good imaging, soundstaging, and palpability.

Sorry, don't know why that happened. Something got into me there.

Even a very slightly different distance to each speaker diminishes imaging.

In addition to measuring, calibrating, and... sorry, SORRY! a level is great for making sure the speakers are, uh, level. Or, if you prefer, at the same angle. 

In other words don't just measure the line of sight distance, and toe, but also the tilt front to back and side to side. It makes a difference, and floors cannot be trusted to be level!

yes
and buy Jim Smiths excellent book on getting better sound

Yes, I also give Jim Smith’s book a must have!

millercarbon.....yes ....Vandersteen clued me in many years ago. you're absolutely right.
