Position and adjustment
If you are using the preferred method of bi-wiring with two pairs of speaker cables from the power amplifier, then you may connect the wire set from the amplifier to either pair of the lower cabinets binding posts. If you bi-wire the speaker then remove the supplied jumper wire. In either regard please keep in mind that the speaker cabinets are polarity sensitive. The positive speaker terminals on both pairs of speakers need to attach to the positive terminals

It is difficult to provide absolute instructions for speaker placement; but we can give suggestion as to good starting points. Optimal results with the
The first rule however, is that the room in which you listen is perhaps the most significant of all audio components in the reproduction chain. Speakers can be made to work satisfactorily in poor sounding rooms, but it is much easier to achieve success in an acoustically correct room.
The ideal room is neither overly reflective nor overly absorptive. In a good sounding room, the absorptive elements tend to be at reflection points of the sidewalls, floor, ceiling and space behind the speaker. High ceilings or at least absorptive ceilings lend themselves to more natural sounding spaces. Diffusion generally is a good thing and excellent listening rooms typically have diffusion in abundance. Great sounding rooms are either large enough or absorptive enough to discourage strong standing waves in the listening area. Good sounding rooms that present a proper spatial image tend to be very symmetrical in layout, left to right.
