How far and wide? NSMT speaker placement
Greetings, when I heard the NSMT's at Teajay's place they were like 15 feet or more from the front wall. He played Copeland's Fanfare for the Common man and holy smokes the drums were all the way behind the speaker to the wall which as mentioned was 15 feet or more (lovely post and beam house). I have been playing with my speakers in my small place and when I got them to 34inches out into the room the depth changed for the good! It was astounding. I am going to move so I can have a larger room as this room is limiting my speaker placement ability.
How far and wide have you found to work in your room? Love to hear other's experience.

The Cardas guide to speaker placement is based on multipliers of the rooms width. Once the speakers are placed away from front and side walls according to the formula, form an equilateral triangle where, when seated, your ears are at the same distance from each speaker as the center of the speaker cones are from each other. http://www.cardas.com/room_setup_main.php If you really want to dial everything in to your preferences, follow the instructions in this video:

FWIW I have a 19.5 x 13.5 x 9 ft room. Speakers are 6 feet from wall behind them (short wall) and my listening position is in an equilateral triangle with speakers toed in with axis crossing just to the sides of my ears. Speakers are Silverline Bolero's. Sort of based on the Cardas set up but not identical. Works for me, but not perfect I think (room limitations, perhaps). |
