music. When these speakers are properly set up, you will have a
sweet spot wide enough for you and your spouse. When you sway
side to side while enjoying the music, the image and tonality of the
system should also not waver.
When properly set up very little sound should appear to come
directly from the speaker, instead, the sound stage should extend
far beyond the left and right edge of the loudspeakers and they
should have tremendous front to back depth. When the recording is
close miked (when the instrument or performer is very close to the
recording microphone) the music may appear to come directly
from the loudspeaker. This is normal. Typically, however, the sound
should appear to be detached from the loudspeakers.
A simple rule of thumb to follow is that focus will be achieved by
placing the speakers closer together or farther apart, and front to
back depth can be adjusted by the distance from the rear wall.
Further, as the system “breaks in”, the depth and width of the
soundstage will increase and so will the “smoothness” of the sound.
Tuning into the room
There are no absolute rules concerning the speaker/room
coupling, so do not be afraid to experiment with speaker
placement for best results. Positioning the speakers within the
room will significantly affect the quality of the bass. This is
because of standing waves caused by bass modes in the room.
Hence, you should experiment with asymmetric positioning in the
room. Do not have your speakers the same distance from the side
and front walls – try putting them closer to the left or the right wall.
If the speakers are equidistance from side and front wall, you may
find strange suck-outs at some frequencies.
In some problematic rooms a resonance may develop at one or
two frequencies that is unnatural to the music. By moving the
speakers closer to the front/side wall or farther
from the front/side
wall, the resonance may be reduced at the listener’s position.
The amount of hard and soft surfaces in your room will also affect
the tonal balance of your loudspeakers. For example, with lots of
very hard surfaces such as marble or granite floors, large picture
windows, and concrete walls, you may find that the room is very
