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).
Leave at least 40cm (15 in.) of
space between the floor-
standing 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.
Warning: Exposure to sunlight
Avoid installing the speaker in a
location where it will be
exposed to direct sunlight.
Otherwise, the UV in the sun’s
rays can cause irreversible
colour changes to the leather.
