Thanks to all for recommending the Cardas advice on speaker positioning. I listen in near field with my speakers on the long wall of a rectangular room. Moving the speakers forward 9cm to align exactly with the golden ratio in each corner had a major effect in removing an annoying room bass boom that I had been living with. While quite euphonic it was clearly muddying the bass and masking other frequencies. So I would strongly advise taking the time to apply these good recommendations.
cardas speaker positioning
I have my speakers positioned within a living space. Compromised, but acceptable. With a few quick room tweaks, not bad.
Been feeling the upgrade bug lately, so I moved my 7 year old boxes into the recommended
Cardas position and...wow! My system now sounds like all the money I dumped into it.
Now I’m imagining those NEW speakers in this position!
A reminder-you really do have to get the speakers to play to the room.
I DO hear all the ’phile adjectives, but man, it sure looks ridiculous.
Without a dedicated space, how the heck do you guys explain having speakers (3-4ft+) out in the room to the S.O.?
Just curious, as I don’t have to answer to a "higher authority"
The girlfriend rolls her eyes anytime she sees what’s going on in my place.
