Speaker/equipment placement

I’ve been interested in audio for quite awhile now and have become even more involved in the last few years. Relaxing in the evenings I like to browse equipment especially speakers, something Ive noticed over the years in looking at speaker listings on Agon is that maybe 1 in 10 images of speaker placements apear to be good . I know it’s tough,existing  room conditions, furniture, wifes/ husbands etc , but its just sad to see a $30k pair of Wilsons pushed up against the back wall in between the console home entertainment unit. Just sayin , cue : Mahgister.

I have noticed the same thing. It is a triumph to be able to afford such great equipment and very sad to have it so sub-optimally installed.

 

When we were shopping for a house I remember walking through this wonderful open room and thinking… ok, my system goes here. I had no idea how incredibly good the acoustics were and what a great decision it was. We only had a couple days to chose a house. Really lucked out.

If you think that's bad, try listening to a poorly integrated sub.

Thats pretty funny Eric , we live in Southern California, all I need to do to hear a poorly integrated sub is pull up to any stoplight. Almost without fail a Subaru with 3 18” subs in the trunk will pull up beside me banging so loud you can literally hear the bolts in the vehicle rattling loose.

Maybe people move speakers into position for serious listening.
