Hi again StylinLP ~Bro. I never said that it was going to be an easy task. But believe me! It's well worth a try. I never in my entire life thought about this method either, as I've always used my speakers firing straight ahead into the room. Yet I must honestly say! I'll never go back to the center of the room placement like I used to, nor will I be afraid to have my speakers closer to the rear or sidewalls.
As I started out in this hobby years ago selling Linn Products and owning a pair of their much loved and missed by me ~ Kans!
I was used to having them against the rearwall or at least 4" from it.Much later as I became totally dedicated to the ProAc Tablette's in one form or another I was always content having them located in my listening/livingroom at appr. either 48.5" - 53.75" into the room from the rearwall and 28.5" from the sidewalls in a space or 14' 7" w. x 22' L. and never had a problem with them firing ahead and filling the entire room. There was this one time I felt the desire to see what some others were talikng about and pulled them about 7'.3/8 th. of an inch [ Rules of 3rds. ]~ into the room and found myself loving their soundstaging even more. But as luck would have it! with a wife and kids it just could be! So I've always remained fateful what works within any given space.
The one thing which I've always had a habit of doing is looking at any given room very closely prior to setting up my system. a means to find out just where the Wall Plugs were located?. And then consider the best placement for either my Sources or Tube Amps? Marking the spots with masking tape on either the short or long walls then move around the seat/sofa to find the best sounding positions for my speakers and finally upon finding this spot? I'ld simply set up my racks and finally my LS Stands in the best sounding position which allows me to enjoy the sound of my system and not that of the room itself. There aren't any rules to which wall should sound better then the other ~ just play around until there isn't any doubt in your mind which offers the best sonics.
I've also always found it far easier to have 13 - 15' LS Cables as a general rule as I don't want to continue buying Cables over.
As in your case for example! one never knows where the final location of ones speakers might reside? Buy longer LS Cables then having them shorten once you've the change to take everything into account -
I myself want to know if I want them running along the baseboard? Do I want them to be centered just behind my LS Stands just so? Weird shit to say the least. But these are things which all of us should consider prior to spending our hard earned cash on LS Cables of more then $800 and upwards. Buy the very best you can and buy it once, until you have an opportunity to find the best matched Cables for your system which forms a sense of synergy throughout.I also would like to direct your attention to the Editor of ~ 6moons.coma one Mr. Srajan Ebaen's room which is 18'w. x 30' L. and ask that you go through each and every one of his reviews which are archieved there and view just how his room and this hardware or speakers set up?. And be certain to pay close attention to the location of his speakers in each and every review.
And finally !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Move that CRT Monitor out of the room all together if possible? and consider a seperate room for Video all together. At least I can honestly say I have a very supportive and understanding wife whom I love to death for enduring all my years of Hi Fi enjoyment. THANK GOD FOR GOOD WOMEN!.
Email me offline this weekend and let me know just how matters turn out?.
Be well. And Twisty! I apologize for what may seem to as an act of someone taking credit your FINE REVIEW! I was merely trying to share in your joy of your Audio Physic Yara experience. As someone whom owns a pair of excellent sounding speakers from this firm as well. And nothing more, I meant no harm with my actions. Please forgive my ravings?. I simply enjoy speaking with others regarding matters as they relate to Audio.Regards,
