Generally, nearfield listening (8 ft.) is preferable with speakers because it minimizes the deleterious effects of room reflections. This is somewhat less important with Salons due to their sophisticated power response, but still important. I know people who have listened to the original Salons at 5.5 ft. (the drivers integrate quite quickly). I used my Salon 1's at 8 ft. and I have no reason to believe that the Salon 2's would be different.
revel Salon 2 seating distance
So I am getting a new room to put my system in, about 35 x 19'. I currently have 2 Salon 2's for R/L and 3 Studio 2's for C/SR/SL. I may try and get a 3rd Salon 2 for the center, but that is not my question at this point.
Given the tweeter height of the Salon 2's, I am wondering what people have found the optimum distance for sitting from the speakers, and also how far you have the back of the speaker from the front wall. Obviously I have a lot of room to play with now (!)
I would like to position the speakers, and then make decision about what I am going to do about a display. I currently use a 60" Kuro, but may move to a projector setup.
