Well I also have read this slooowly 5 times now, and I just don't get it.
"Have the speakers placed along the lengths of the room, about Ľ to 1/3 from the back wall.." -> really; 1/3 from the BACKwall, not the FRONTwall which is behind the speakers???
"...and Ľ the breadth roughly" -> what does this mean?
"Now walk slowly to and fro along the mid-line between the speakers, from one end of the room to the other and then back, may be several times to get the mind set (if the speakers are standing low, you may well have to crawl). Somewhere along the aisle, you would hear the sound getting louder and at the same time it rises above your head, filling the ceiling as if you've entered a Gothic church. Bingo, that is it, the focal point. Mark this focal point and drag your speakers over the lateral line crossing the spot" -> so basically this focal point is on the other side of the room, and speakers are dragged to there. But if I understood correctly, they are now quite close to other wall but still facing it? Or should I turn the speakers around at some stage of this process??
I also would love to have a clear picture or such about this process, it just sounds really complicated now :-o
Follow Ups:
Sorry I missed that - that is 1/3 from the front wall (behind the speakers) though most folks end up with the speakers further out. In some cases pulling out to the point of having the speakers more than 1/2 way into the room works better.. Particularly if there are early reflections off a rack or something else on the front wall.
In any case, there is no point in turning the speakers the other way.
"In any case, there is no point in turning the speakers the other way".
So could you please try to explain a bit in more detail how could I find that focal point, where sound would be "filling the ceiling as if you've entered a Gothic church"? I just can't understand those instructions :-o
