Thank you for your kind advise.
I started following the placement guide on the Synergistic Research page. As my speakers are standing on the long wall, 180 cm (5,9 feet) away from the side walls, I found that placing the 2x2 HFT´s 55 cm (1,8 feet) to the outer front wall (one a ear height and one 2 feet above) locked the stage centre better than having them in the front wall corners. - Any advise on this?
"Resist the temptation to add too many units." - How many is too many?
Right now I have:
- Front wall middle between the speakers 3 HFT´s - one foot above the floor, one at ear height and one one foot below ceiling.
- Front wall 2x2 HFT´s 1,8 feet outside of the speakers
- On the speakers 5 HFT´s (rear, sides, top and bottom front)
- Above the middle of speakers each one
- Side walls none
- Back wall 4 HFT´s (middle at ear height and 1 one foot below ceiling) + 2x1 mid room height and 1,6 feet from room corners
- Ceiling - 1 right in the middle of the room
Makes all together 19 HFT´s. - Is that too many according to your experience?
"Have an open mind about modifying speaker placement and listening position (including the height of your seating position.)" - I spent quite some time the last years optimizing speaker position (toe-in and rake angle), both using room acoustic apps and my ears, to my listening position. I must say I was very pleased with the sound, but couldn´t resist trying the HFT´s to possible achieve a wider sweet spot.
I am quite limited when it comes to room treatment as my system is installed in my living room.
Further experience is highly appreciated. Thank you.
Rino.
