changes in sound as you increase the width. Most likely there will be a "wide" range of suitable widths where
the music sounds correct and a smaller range that will favor your personal musical predilections.
Once you are satisfied with the sound at your selected seating position, we encourage you to change gears and
to move out of your comfort zone ... to another seating position. Yes, that's right, leave the speakers where
they are and change your seating position. You should notice that moving around the room changes only your
position relative to the (virtual) performers and that the detail, image and soundstage remain true to how they
would be presented if you were listening to an actual live performance at similar changes in position. Feel free
to move about the room and listen to the speakers at different angles, or even with your back to them. Listen
from behind the plane of the speakers both in between and wide of them. Sit or lay on the floor in front of the
speakers for a different perspective. Experiment and have fun exploring the capabilities of the speakers.
Depth
Now that you have started to appreciate some of the speaker's abilities, let's turn to where to place them in
your room for the best combination of sound and convenience. As with all speakers, the room/speaker
interaction takes on great importance when considering placement. In this sense, the room can be considered
as an extension of the speaker. Again the unique design of the "Classic-Series" will necessitate some
rethinking of the standard suggestions for stereo speaker placement but will also offer up many new
placement possibilities.
The two most important factors involving negative room interactions are resonances and reflections.
Resonance problems can arise as you introduce any loudspeaker into any enclosed listening environment.
With all the possible variables in room dimensions and layouts there are no fast and clear rules for speaker
placement. Within a room there will be nodes and antinodes and it is never a good practice to place any
speaker in positions that exacerbates these resonant locations. We suggest trying to vary the depth placement
in the same manner that you handled width placement and allow your ears to guide you to a position that
sounds best to you. With the "Classic-Series" loudspeakers, "depth" placement is far less critical than finding
the best width between the speakers. However, depth placement may permit tailoring the frequency
response to that which you prefer and setting up for the comfort of your favorite seating position. Within the
room, reflections are minimized with our speakers because a) the speaker's single 3-inch diameter wide band
driver is situated 39 inches (ca. 1 m) above floor level and b) the acoustic synthesis of bass frequencies.
Sometimes simpler is better.
