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’ve seen many photos of reviewers’ rooms over the years that make me question how accurate their reviews are.

@bikeboy52 “New way to judge the strength of your marriage, speaker brand ,size and placement, we’ve been able to stay together for 26 years even though a pair of Apogges 24 inches from the back wall”

Yes, a good way to verify the strength.

 

My partner put up with my ESS AMD 1ds in our tiny living room for a decade… then my Apogee Slant 8 for a while. I rewarded her with a house twice the size… now I have a big man cave (the lower floor) so she no longer has to look at them… although they are now nothing less than stunning (violin red Sonus Faber Amati Traditional).

Nice work ghdprentice ,on the marriage and the system, man I wanted those amd1s ,I was still in school and used to walk across the street to the Lafayette electronics store and listen to them. Happy listening!

I have a fairly small dedicated music room so speakers were chosen for a small room, Audio Physic Sitara 25, and are placed almost exactly to the manufacturers recommendation. Even then the room has bass problems so I use 2 small subwoofers for balance not volume. So choose your speakers for the room you have.
