for spacing from sidewalls to the centers of bass panel portions.

This will be 1.4 meters for a 5.07 meter-wide room. The center of the left bass panel portion will be 1.4 meters from the left wall, and similarly the center of the right bass panel portion will be 1.4 meters from the right wall. There will be 2.27 meters between the centers of the bass panel portions, so, with the tweeters to the outside, you should have good sound-stage width.

Keep the centers of the bass panel portions (you have to guess where the center is by peering through the socks with a flashlight) in these locations if you rotate the speakers. If your cables will reach, I recommend you try rotating the speakers so they face away from each other. Be sure to reverse the leads if your source will not permit easy polarity inversion, and to treat the first-reflection areas on the side walls. You will need to sit close enough to hear the full treble from your Quasi-ribbon tweeters.

Good luck!
