position. There are no absolute rules concerning problematic rooms, so do not be afraid to experiment with best woofer placement.

Ultimately, it is all about balance. You have a number of controls at hand with which to adjust the bass response, the low-pass filter frequency and woofer volume. You can also move the speakers closer together (for better coupling), and also move the woofer towers closer together, or further apart, or even move them closer to a corner of the room for more bass.

One trick that we have found to always work is NOT to have the woofer towers placed symmetrically in the listening room. When you have the woofers equidistant to the walls, there will be wall- loading which will increase the volume of some frequencies in the bass and mid-bass. However, for proper soundstage development, the midrange/tweeter wings should be symmetric in the room.

Place the left and right woofer towers equidistant from the midrange towers. However, have one woofer tower further to the side of one midrange tower, and have the other woofer tower further to the back of the other midrange tower. It may look strange, but the principle here is to position the midrange/tweeter towers for the best imaging and soundstage, and the woofer towers for the smoothest and best bass and ambience retrieval.

The Refinement stage

After following the rough setup guide above, you may not be completely satisfied with the results. We share with you here some of our observations in setting up these loudspeakers.

Make One Change At A Time

One rule of thumb you should always keep in mind. Make one change at a time! Do not, for instance, change position of the speakers and make an adjustment to the amplifier all at once.

Make each of these changes separately and note the difference - by listening - with each adjustment, then make the next change.

Each adjustment, in positioning, and in control adjustment will result in a subtle sonic change. Even when you are moving the midrange/tweeter panels further apart, or closer together, move
