In Reply to: Flexibilty in rear speaker placement posted by Robert C. Lang on May 17, 2007 at 09:52:59:
I became interested in MCH sound when the first time delay units came out and I bought an Advent 5000. Over the past more than 20 years I've played around with lots of speaker placements and continued this with my SACD 5-ch system. Maybe the results depend on what kind of music you listen to, but I've found that rear placement can be pretty flexible for classical music provided you get the levels right and adjust for the speaker distance. I never hear the rear speakers themselves as a source of the music. In fact, I am not even particularly aware that there are any rear speakers, just that if you turn them off, the sound gets very different. It loses that wonderful sense of having had the walls of the room disappear, of being in a much more realistic concert hall. Right now I have my rear speakers at around 145 degrees, and I think they work as well there as at lower angles. Maybe I'm not critical enough. I adjust the level so that I can just hear them with the fronts playing, then back off a bit to be sure I can't hear them directly, and then maybe do a little final tweaking for ultimate realistic effect. I'm probably violating all the "rules."Joe
