round) speakers so that they fire across the room at each other |

Experimentation is the key to finding the best arrangement in |
|
|
| |
your listening environment. Be patient, have fun, and remember |
|
|
| |
that small changes in speaker position can sometimes have a |
|
|
| |
significant effect on the sound. For example, moving the |
|
|
| |
speakers nearer to a room boundary (walls, corners) will tend to |
|
|
| |
increase their bass output, but may result in “boomy” or “muddy” |
|
|
| |
sound. Conversely, placing the speakers farther away from | fig. 3 |
| ||
room boundaries will tend to decrease their bass output, but may |
|
result in greater articulation and better imaging.
In addition, room furnishings play an important role in absorbing and reflecting soundwaves. Midrange and high frequen- cies in particular will be absorbed by soft furnishings such as sofas, carpets and curtains. A large number of these soft furnishings will dull the sound, while a “live” room with few furnishings will brighten the sound. If you are willing to spend some time
