Placement for Soliloquy speakers

You can ask Soliloquy directly, but they told me that the degree of toe-in will effect the bass response of their speakers. And I found this to be true. I settled on approximately 10-15% of toe-in. I also had the speakers at least 2.5 feet from the back wall, measured to the back of the speaker. Are yours broken in? I'm guessing that your description of 'boomy' means that they are. The Soliloquy's don't sound well balanced until they have at least a few hundred hours on them. Five hundred is where they really open up.

It sounds like you might want to do some room treatment as well, but obviously I'm not familiar with your specifics--and I'm not an expert in that regard.

All the best,

565 divided by 15 = 37, the lowest frequency the room can handle. The speakers go to 30hz, so it is likely, if the source material is not boomy bass heavy, that your setup is too much in the corners (the worst possible place for accurate bass response).

Also, walk around the room to hear if you are just sitting in a high pressure room mode. Do not sit against the rear wall, but a couple feet into the room at least. If speakers are 30" in from the head wall, and you sit the same from the rear, gives you approx. 7' from speakers. Perhaps a 7' unilateral triange is best anyway. 8 at most.

BTW 3' from side wall on a 15' wall puts them 9' apart. Why so much. If they have a first order crossover, the recommended seperation is 8', if not even less (6-7')

Then try moving them a foot or two at time and see what happens.

This is price you pay for enclosed cabinet speakers. The dipole designs do not create these problems. I am a little surprised you get boomy bass with 2-5" woofers.

Tell me more.

Didactically-NICE ANSWER!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks. I have a very basic question. In deciding on placement, should I measure from the middle of the speaker, the front, the back or what? Thanks again,

TLH

Didactically, what is the 565 you mentioned? I'm learning also. Thanks.
