If the speakers are too far apart you will lose the side image and if they are too close together you will have too small a center stage. If the speakers are far apart and
The spikes on the acoustic suspension give you an additional control over the height of the soundstage. Tilting the front of the loudspeaker up and down will affect the height of the soundstage depending on the furnishings and wall coverings in your listening room. In some rooms with hard walls, tilting the front of the speaker up will lower the soundstage. In other rooms, it will raise the soundstage. Experiment!
When properly set up very little sound should appear to come directly from the speaker, instead, the sound stage should extend far beyond the left and right edge of the loudspeakers and they should have tremendous front to back depth. When the recording is close miked (when the instrument or performer is very close to the recording microphone) the music may appear to come directly from the loudspeaker. This is normal. Typically, however, the sound should appear to be detached from the loudspeakers.
A simple rule of thumb to follow is that focus will be achieved by placing the speakers closer together or farther apart, and front to back depth can be adjusted by the distance from the rear wall.
Further, as the system “breaks in”, the depth and width of the soundstage will increase and so will the “smoothness” of the sound.
Soundstage Height
A unique feature of the acoustic suspension is the ability to alter the height and shape of the soundstage. In most “live” rooms, if the soundstage is deemed to be too low, increase the height of the spikes at the BACK of the loudspeaker. If the height of the soundstage is too high, increase the height at the FRONT of the speaker.
