Help me set up my new (to me) Dunlavy V's

Set the speakers up for the best sound regardless of how far they are from the wall. Then wherever they are when the screen is up and you're watching movies you will adjust the delay to synchronize with the movie. 

Full range surrounds adds additional bass sources which is a serious advantage! I tried it and while I gave up on surrounds because of the poor quality of HT processors the full range surrounds did help with really good bass response. Now with DBA I have the best of both worlds.

fluffers, about the time I bought my Duntechs I developed a procedure for room placement.  That required taking measurements for smoothest (flattest) bass response as I moved the speakers out from the front wall 1" at a time.  Note my choice was to obtain the smoothest bass response, not finding the maximum output for a given frequency.  As they came out into the room the response curve smoothed out until it reached its best response, then began to deviate more if I moved them further.  That was a room dependent condition and was ultimately fine tuned down to the half-inch, so there is no absolute answer, only guidelines.

This is why miller's recommendation for experimentation is correct.

However I would question if this is a good speaker choice for placement behind a video screen?  I don't remember the precise distance but my Duntechs had the front baffle at least 4' out from the front wall.  Will it be practical to hang your screen somewhere between 4' and 6' out from the front wall?

Hi thks- yes I can actually mount the screen 7-8 feet if I had to and still have enough room to sit about 1.25 times the screen size- 
are the  Dunlavy III's a good choice for rear speakers if I am using a sub??

Hey- So I have been moving the Dunlavy V's around and almost have them right ( I think)- room is 17x28- I have them 3 1/2 feet from side wall- 10.5 apart and 5 feet to front wall- toed in so they are about facing each ear- 12 feet from chair- I get good pinpoint center imaging wide soundstage- But It still feels a little compressed-Not alot of Air- Pianos you can hear the attack but there is no decay on the notes-
Here is what I have at the moment- the speakers are off their bases as I am going to put them up on spikes so now they are on a wood floor over concrete-
I put RPG diffusers on the side walls
I have all Mcintosh equipment and am using Mogami Gold xlr interconnects and Duelund 12 guage wire for speaker wire for now-
So before I keep moving around these beasts I thought I would see what you gurus think I should do- Is it the cables?? remove the side panels etc- thanks so much for all the advice

Hi,
rooms are different but try a smaller toe in, just to see from your listening position half or so of their side panels.
Try a listening distance which is less than their opening, reduce the distance from the chair to 11-10ft and listen how it goes. If you stay at 12ft listening distance increase slightly their opening.
These speakers have lots of air and sound like no box at all when properly set up.
