Tweaking Your Speaker Placement

"Depending on the speakers an 1/8” move in the right way can have a significant impact."

What I am curious about is how one can verifiably move a speaker exactly 1/8th of an inch? My speakers on stands weigh about 60 pounds each and being bookshelf speakers, they are a little top heavy. They are also on IsoAcoustic Gaia's, which don't really slide too well.

How do you do it?

How many blatant flaws and red flags can you spot in that Sumiko video?

As you know, this is only one process. There are a number of processes available. Some of them are fairly simple and others are much more time consuming. Personally, I would try more than one over an extended period of time. I have not read the book.

I attach a string to my listening position. I then measure the inbound corners of both speakers to ensure they are the same. I then follow the same procedure for the outbound corners. This method not only provides perfect speaker distance but also exact angle (toe in).

I'm OCD on system symmetry in terms of gear and speakers, but my room is not symmetrical at all. I watched Bob's presentation and gave it a go.

Distance from the walls, audio cabinet and toe-in are no longer the same. I'm not done yet, but there is no question the imaging and overall sound is much better.
