Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: 3 foot tall presentation

1. Get at least the tweeters above ear level. Height imaging cues in the recording seem to come out better this way.

2. Do what you can (speakers with more directivity, diffusion or absorption on the side walls and ceiling, or just a healthier distance from the side walls) to reduce early reflections that will be confused with recorded floor bounce. Only sit far enough from the speakers for the drivers to integrate (could be 6-7') so that the room reflections are relatively lower in level and getting less confused with what's on the recoring.

3. Buy recordings using a stereo pair a healthy distance from the performers.
