How to set the Dunlavy SC-IV signature correctly


I just bought a pairs of Dunlavy IV signature from the used shop. It sound nice. However, it came here without the manual. Since the speaker size is quite big, can someone familiar on how to place it correctly? My room size is 4 metre wide * 6 metres long *2.7 metres height. Your suggestion is really appreciate.

Dunlavy suggested setting up the speakers on the long wall, rather than the short one, so use the 6 meter wall if you can; if that's not possible, it's not a problem. You can pretty much spread them as wide as you like, but toe them in towards your listening position (I once heard a pair of SC VIs set up 20 feet apart with no center fill problem at all). Have your listening position be at least 9-10 feet from the speakers, as they need room for the drivers to integrate, much like Thiel speakers. And try to bring them out a bit into the room; while they can be used near back walls (keep them away from side walls), they benefit, as do most speakers, from being away from room boundaries.
