In Reply to: REVIEW: Jim Smith Get Better Sound Accessory posted by Leefy on November 20, 2008 at 17:35:50:
...and skeptical about this book, its contents and its cost, although I haven't seen it.I moved into a new house in May and went from a purpose-built dedicated audio room to a smaller living room (14 X 17 X 8) for my system. It has taken me until now to get the sound treatment and speaker-seating positioning just right.
In fact, last week I felt the seating position was still a little off, so after listening to some bass tones and the standing waves/suckouts, I moved the seat back about 8 inches, adjusted the speaker angles and wala, I had it.
After reading your review here and seeing Smith's recommendation of a .83 ratio to speaker separation and listening distance, I measured mine. It is now .82, pretty close. So it would appear he is on to something.
However in my previous larger listening room (17 X 27 X 10.5), I had the same speakers farther apart and about equidistant to where I sat for a ratio of close to 1.0. I'd say it depends on the size of the room.
And I agree with him about getting the speakers positioned at least 1/16 inch of each other to the side and back walls with the listener in the center - the images really snap into place.
Sounds like he has some good advice to offer.
