Initial Positioning
The interface between the loudspeaker and the listening room is
extremely complex and has been the subject of research by engineers
and acousticians for many years. With this in mind Monitor Audio has
produced a range of loudspeakers that are largely position tolerant and
fuss free provided some simple guidelines are followed.
As a starting point, the loudspeakers should be positioned about 20cm
(8 inches) away from the rear wall and 1.8/2 metres (6/7 feet) apart with
their front firing straight into the room.
The distance between the outer side of either loudspeaker to the
sidewall should be a minimum of 0.5 metres (1.5 feet).

Turning your loudspeakers inwards by as much as 15 degrees can help
focus the sound stage and sharpen up imaging. This is only a suggestion
but well worth trying as it can bring a dramatic improvement to the
realism of the performance.
