Positioning the loudspeakers
Your speakers are set up correctly, if your favourite listening position and the speakers form an approximately
equilateral triangle. The speakers should radiate from an acoustically hard environment
with good reverberation characteristics into the more damped part of the listening area.
Please note that positioning the speakers opposite to large and smooth walls can cause unpleasant reflections. The sound radiation is not to be impeded; no object whatsoever should be placed in front of or too near to the speakers. You need a clear line of sight to your speakers.

Putting your speakers up against a wall or in a corner will probably reinforce the bass too much. This effect will be increased in lightly furnished rooms as they can hardly absorb bass frequencies.
The low frequency behavior may be controlled by the distance of the speakers to the walls. According to the acoustic actualities of your living room very serious changes of the bass volume can occur between the possibilities ‘larger distance’ (slim bass) and ‘in the angle’ of the room (beefy bass).
Leave at least 40cm (15 in.) of space between the floor- standing speakers and any nearby wall. These speakers are designed for vertical operation. A
Warning: Exposure to sunlight
Avoid installing the speaker in a location where it will be exposed to direct sunlight. Otherwise, the UV in the sun’s rays can cause irreversible colour changes to the leather.
