3 Setting up as Stereo Pair

3.1 Positioning

Used as a stereo pair, the G6.1c should be placed vertically 18 inches (0.45m) into the room as measured from the front wall (the wall you look at as you are seated listening to the speakers), to the back of the speaker. They should be placed on good, solid speaker stands about 18 to 24 inches (60cm) high.

You will notice that the tweeter and midrange drivers are mounted on a round plate secured with four screws. These screws can be removed, and the plate rotated by 45 degrees so that the tweeter and midrange are at an angle, or rotated by 90 degrees so that the tweeter is above the midrange. If you do rotate the midrange and tweeter, it would still be better to have the rear tweeters closest to one another.

Start with the speakers five feet (1.5m) apart with the tweeters (both front and rear) placed closest together, and angled in (toed-in) towards the listener by about 5 degrees. You will want to sit 8 to 10 feet (2.4 to 3.0 metres) away from the speakers (if you have the space). We will experiment with moving the speakers around later.

As these speakers are dipolar in the high frequencies, they are pretty room-friendly and you are free to move the speakers closer to, or further away from the front and side walls. We do recommend, however, that you give the speakers a little bit of breathing space behind them, so don’t push them up tight against the wall.

If you have the speakers too close to the front wall, you will find that the image depth is not as good - the soundstage becomes a little two- dimensional. If you have the space to move the speakers away from the wall, do so. You will be rewarded with the deep, broad soundstage that this loudspeaker is capable of. You should be able to “see” the soundstage behind, as well as in front of, the loudspeakers. The sound stage will also extend outside the left and right sides of the speakers.

3.2.1Tweeter and Midrange Controls

The two knobs at the top of the plate on the back of the speaker tailor the mid- and high-frequency response of the G6.1c. They are subtle controls, but they can make a great difference in gaining that last bit of
