| Speaker Width? Just looked at your pictures. Nice apartment, nice furniture, gorgeous view! Unfortunately, none of that helps you with how your system should sound. If you really want to get the best from your investment, you will need to:1. Use a dedicated list... | |
| Speaker Width? Another + for Jim Smith's book Get Better Sound.My setup sounds best with my speakers 7 feet apart (tweeter to tweeter) and my head 11.5 feet from plane of tweeters. | |
