Speaker placement question-

Adding to Rrog above, also depends if rear-ported, front-ported or sealed.

If you have a question about a particular speaker from a particular review why not e-mail the reviewer and ask him how the measurements were taken?

Why try to duplicate what a reviewer has done in his room? Your room will most likely have totally different characteristics. Many things come into play such as room dimensions, ceiling height, furnishings, windows, which wall the speakers are on, sonic signature of electronics, etc. There is also the issue of personal taste. Reviewers have a tendency towards hiper detailed sound (sins-of-addition) to further their ability to review other equipment which they will insert into their system. Do you want to listen to music or do you want your system to be a reviewing tool? Set your system up to your taste not somebody else's.

I am not interested in duplicating a reviewer's experience or set up. I was merely curious. I have my speakers set up just right, for me and for my room.

Regarding speaker placement...you never can tell what is best for your room without trying it. Put the speakers on teflon sliders which you can get at Home Depot or Lowes....put the components in the center of the room, and slide those speakers all around the room. It is VERY obvious when you have found the best position...the sound just seems effortless and rich. It is worth doing...for me however, my wife wanted them where they are now and thats the way it is.
