Infinity RS 2.5 speaker placement

3 feet from the front wall is enough, and about 30 degrees of toe-in. I had my 2.5s for many years in quite a few different rooms, they are not too picky about placement but they are meant to have a little bass reinforcement with the front wall. Pull them out just enough to get clean bass, then add toe-in to taste. Set the knobs to flat, some might find that too bright so just a little off the tweeter if that sounds good to you.

Thanx, Russ

I will give that a try Russ. I moved the audio rack and coffee table out of the listening area as well to see if that has an impact.

For the narrow width of this room, I ended up with the speakers about 14" from the side walls and 24" from the back wall and toed in approx 30 degrees. Maybe I can leave it alone for a while :)

Most of the placement advice in this thread is accurate. What I found out with my 2.5s was that I had to keep them fairly close together and just toed in a hare. Actually I always thought the sweet spot was pretty narrow, and I was always a little disappointed in the imaging. I moved on to Vandersteens, and am much happier. They were great in their day though. Fortunately my electric bill was included in my rent. Good luck.

Hi Sswanny-1 I had 2.5s for years the trick to placement is not only the bass but the tweeters the rear wall should be a hard surface when they are the right distance from the wall, the tweeters will brighton right up you want the rear tweeter sound wave to hit the listening position at the same time as the front firing tweeter.If I remember right I liked them about 2 to 3 feet away from the rear wall. Toe just so the tweeters look to be firing just over your shoulders not at your ears. The distance is easy to do play somthing that goes across from one speaker to the other speaker and seperate them until you loose the image in between them that is your to far point move them back were the image in the middle is not lost. Always have at least 4 to 5 feet open behind you at your listening spot and at least 1.5 times the width of seperation from your listening spot to the speakers.If you have the room your speakers will show a whole new side of themselves.The biggest problem with most hi fi set ups is the room and not the equiptment. most people have to big of hi fi systems in to small of a room. Until you have tried it I know it is hard to believe. The diferance is night and day.
