Placement

Ideally the systems should be placed at least three feet from any walls. The height, at the top of the midrange, should be at ear level. The two speakers should be equidistant from your primary listening position; the distance should be determined by the distance between the speakers. We recommend that the angle between the speakers, at the listening position, be between 45° to 60°. For example, if the speakers are 8' apart, your listening position should be 8'–12' from each speaker. To widen the area in which the best stereo image will be perceived, turn the speaker to face the primary listening position (Figure 5).

It is normally recommended that the Century Gold loudspeakers be positioned so that the high-frequency transducers are towards the inside. In some listening environments, however, the imaging characteristics may be improved by positioning the high-frequency transducers towards the outside. We suggest you experiment with the positioning of your loud- speakers to determine the ideal placement in your listening room.
