Speaker Placement and Toe-In

Yeah, I think all the rules as to speaker placement should just be considered as a starting point. We still need to experiment. Moving heavy speakers on stands like the Townshends is near impossible. But trying to place the Sopra's in the right spot while off the stands gave a different result. And needed To-In. Thus the need to be able to move them around on the stands.

I have tried the spikes that the Sopra’s came with, then Stillpoints and then the Gaia 1’s. They were an improvement over the ones provided with the Sopra’s, but the Townshends podiums are revolutionary. Do they justify the cost? For me they do.

Interesting read. Von schweikert uses a Pink noise tone, Wilson has there own version.

What helps is Identifying the first reflection point  and putting some sort of absorption there.  Good luck

Thanks for the reply.

What I have noticed is having the speakers aiming straight out does flatten the soundstage depth somewhat.

So always the tweaker, I decided to toe them in again (slightly). Now the question is how much, or little is the best? Never ending...

Ozzy, thought you had Magico M6's?

Guess that was someone else .....

No, it must be some other "rich guy".

It is amazing that when you really start dialing in the soundstage, just a 1/2" can throw off the center image.
