distance between speakers

Every speaker and every room is different. In my 50+ years of audiophilia, I've never had a room that didn't have irregular measurements or opennings that would defeat this extremely naive measurement concept.

You need a method that equalizes the energy from the speakers and fits them into the room in such a way that their energy is equalized. The Sumiko Master Set is the only method that I know of that accomplishes the goal. If you interested, a search on A'gon will easily locate some deeper discussion for you.

I disagree. The OP's question implied that he was attempting to set up his speakers by measuring the placement. Newbee merely said to measure from the drivers.

Jax2, I should say that I think that you and I basically agree.

I feel a need to reemphasize the need to get away from physical geometric measurements and to place speakers via a method that places based on energy levels. There're so much misplaced support and belief measuring feet and inches, that I just keep repeating this mantra.

Sorry if it seemed like I was disagreeable.

"Clio09, Nice speakers I think. I've read about them and would like to hear them someday. I've always wanted to do business with Duke."

I prefer Vienna Acoustic, but I must say that Duke had some of the best speakers at the last RMAF. Speaking of placement problems, he struggled a little early on, but really had his main room working well by Sunday. He's really a great guy that makes some great speakers.
