absolute fidelity
from the midrange ribbons. In order to allow for sufficient space from the sidewalls, this dictates that the optimum room is at least 19 feet (6m) wide.
Placing the woofer towers asymmetrical but equidistant from the midrange/tweeter wings will result in better integration of the bass frequencies to the room. Keep the side of the woofer towers no less than 16 inches from the sidewall.
The suggestions here are typical in a minimum space. With a larger room, it is possible (and optimal) to have a layout as shown below with the midrange, tweeters and woofers equidistant from the listening position. Still, the woofer towers should be placed asymmetric in the room with the distances of the woofers from the
