If the loudspeakers are placed too close to the walls the bass will increase but may be boomy and indistinct. If the loudspeakers are placed further away from the walls, the inward angle may be increased by upto 40%, although this may restrict the width of the optimum listening position. As personal taste plays a large role, experiment with different configurations and play a wide range of programme before finalising the position of your speakers.
