Do not extend the spikes all the way to the end. They should only be
screwed far enough down so that no part of the acoustic suspension
touches the floor, or rests heavily on the carpet. Keep the part of the
spikes protruding from the bottom of the suspension frame as short
as possible.
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 asy mmetric 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
bright and you will have to turn the tweeter control down
significantly.
On the other hand, large sofas and arm-chairs tend to absorb
frequencies in the lower mid-range and mid-bass. When your
room is full of furniture, you may find that you have to turn down
the tweeter, midrange, and bass gain.
Ultimately, an enjoyable and musical system is all about balance.
You have a number of controls at hand with which to adjust the
bass response, the low-pass filter frequency and woofer volume.
You can also move the speakers closer together for better
speaker-to-speaker mid-bass coupling, or further apart for less.
