Imprimir páginaThe "Classic-Series" loudspeakers deliver the recorded performance with proper corresponding width, depth
and height, commonly referred to as staging and imaging. As you are about to experience for yourself, this
most often results in staging and imaging which extends many feet wide of and behind of the speaker (virtually
eliminating the walls in your room), as well as portraying proportional height information. When set up
correctly these speakers do not have a listening "sweet spot" and will retain a realistically wide, deep, and tall
soundstage in which the performers remain in their virtual positions no matter where you are listening from
within the room.
Basic Placement
We suggest a starting placement of the speakers at 5 ft. (ca. 1.5 m) apart (inner edge to inner edge) and 1.5 ft.
(ca. 0.5 m) to 5 ft. (ca. 1.5 m) from the front wall (the wall behind the speakers). Yes, we understand most
speakers achieve their stage width by their wide placement but this is because they seldom place images
outside their far edges or with much width behind them. As you are about to experience, this is not the case
with our speakers. As mentioned earlier, when set up correctly these speakers do not have a listening "sweet
spot". This may go against all (your) conventional "audio wisdom" and will make you reassess the standard
method of speaker placement and correspondingly of home audio reproduction in general.
But let's start with the basics. The "sweet spot" is that listening position from which the best soundstage
presentation is heard and is most often thought to be a center seat equidistant from each of the loudspeakers.
The most commonly suggested method of achieving this is by the use of an equilateral triangle (triangle with
three equal sides) where each speaker is placed at each corner of the base and the listening "sweet spot" is at
the apex. Since we are starting with a smaller width placement than normal, please start by using an isosceles
triangle instead, that is, set the initial seating position in the center of the speakers but further away from the
speakers than the distance between the speakers.
Width
For evaluation purposes, please start with the speakers facing forward and the width between them at 5 ft.
(ca. 1.5 m) (inner edge to inner edge) anywhere within 1.5 ft. (ca. 0.5 m) to 5 ft. (ca. 1.5 m) from the front wall.
Your listening position should be situated equidistant between them at whatever distance you prefer or are
accustomed to. Please select and play pieces of music that you enjoy and know well. Trust your ears!
Increase the width gradually and repeat the process until you achieve the most musically enjoyable balance of
soundstage and image coherence. Please don't over analyze these placements but do take notice of the
