RE: I am looking for guidance in setting up my Tympanis

Posted by Satie on February 26, 2017 at 22:03:51:

You need to fine tune the aspects of positioning from offset from the front wall, to your listening angle (meaning as determined by your listening distance) ,to the spread between the speakers, and tweeters in vs.tweeters out. Once you have these things aligned as well as you can for your preferences then start experimenting with absorption and diffusion.

Instead of watching for tonal shifts and focusing on timbre, you should find a well regarded recording where imaging is known to be very well done. Then do the fine adjustment of the positioning for image related issues, soundstage size and width and depth as separate aspects, image specificity and solidity and detail retrieval. These are all better when the speaker's time behavior is closest to good alignment.

So long as the room is essentially raw there will be tonal balance issues as reflections balance with direct sound.
