Positioning the loudspeakers
Your speakers are set up correctly,
if your favourite listening position
and the speakers
form an
approximately equilateral triangle.
The speakers should radiate from
an acoustically hard environment
with good reverberation
characteristics into the more
damped part of the listening area.
Please note that positioning the
speakers opposite to large and
smooth walls can cause unpleasant
reflections. The sound radiation is
not to be impeded; no object
whatsoever should be placed in
front of or too near to the speakers.
You need a clear line of sight to your
speakers.

Putting your speakers up against a
wall or in a corner will probably
reinforce the bass too much. This
effect will be increased in lightly
furnished rooms as they can hardly
absorb bass frequencies.
The low frequency behavior may be
controlled by the distance of the
speakers to the walls. According to
the acoustic actualities of your
living room very serious changes of
the bass volume can occur between
the possibilities ‘’larger distance
(slim bass)’’ and ‘’in the angle of the
room (beefy bass)’’. Hence it is to be
recommended to locate the best
tonal balance by shifting the stand
speakers inch by inch.
Leave at least 40 cm (15 in.) of
space between the floorstanding
speakers and any nearby wall.
These speakers are designed for
vertical operation. A ‘’lining-up ‘’ of
the speakers to the listening point
can have an advantageous acoustic
effect as thereby reflections at the
adjoining room walls are reduced.
