Snell Type D Positioning Question


Hi, I just picked up a pair of Snell D type speakers for $50.00. Need some advice. As background,my room is 17x10 that adjoins a smaller 10x10 room. No wall separates the rooms. I use the larger room with the equip across the long wall. My chair sits into the larger room just ahead of the boundry separating the rooms. I do this because there is a post that obstructs my listening.
I cannot find a manual online, can anyone tell me how these should be set up so I have a start point to fine time the speaker position. They have a tweeter on the rear so I'm thinking that they need to be out from the wall a ways. And do they like to be set in a equal triangle with my chair, or do they like to be spread further apart toward the side walls. Toe-in required? Any advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated. I will be running the Snell's with an Odyssey Stratos amp and Odyssey Canedela pre-amp. Thanks much, Dave

Thanks Pete, for the follow up. I was thinking about the layout of my room and your comments. It sounds like the D,s can be set closer to the wall than my Europas which are approx 3.5' from rear wall and 4' frm sides. This provides a near 9' approx equidistant triangle. Similar to you, spent lots a time with distance and toe-in before getting it right. I imagine your room was greater challenge due to it being square. After I get the D,s repaired I,ll get them set up and let you know how they worked out. Again, thanks, Dave
Hi, Thanks for the website. When I punched in the room width the solution was similar to the current position of my current setup. I,ll start there and move them in toward the rear wall and toward the sides. Don,t work I,ll go the other way. It,s always triaL error. Again thanks, Dave
