In Reply to: "Geoff is right" ? I have tried speaker placement 4,5,6,7 feet apart in my 11' wide room. posted by peppy m. on May 19, 2022 at 16:53:55:
But I was making generalizations AND I was also saying one MUST use a speaker set up track in order to get the correct result. What I probably should have said is what the guy on the XLO TEST CD said which is START at about 4 feet between speakers and gradually move them apart. Trying to get the right placement without a foolproof method, i.e., TEST CD - you can only find local maximum locations, but not the real maximum locations. People toe in too much and separate the speakers too much, generally. It's not a question of feet it's a question of centimeters. Trying to find the best locations by moving speakers a foot at a time hascabout as much chance of success as a camel has of passing through the eye of a needle.I should warn you the set-up track requires that the room be treated *sufficiently well* to be able to "hear the sound coming from all around you, with no particular direction." This is not easy, trust me. It's certainly not something you can achieve in a day or two. When the system can do that with out of phase signal it will have best sound,most focus and biggest soundstage when signal is in phase. Most rooms are hideously out of whack acoustically, it would take a long time just to get them squared away enough to be able to utilize the speaker setup track. How do I know this, you ask. Because I'm from the future.
