Advice on using a laser for speaker positioning

laser on a good tripod - cant beat it.

I am thinking of getting one myself, though my measurements are done with tape and strings. Any specific brand, besides Bosch with 1/16 th inch precision that you guys found on Amazon?

I have decided to be a lot more relaxed and get used to speakers that are just not that fussy. :)

Having said that, I use a Bosh laser level that is relatively inexpensive ($50)

It projects a line instead of a dot, making it easy to do simultaneous settings at once. You can see the front/rear tilt at the same time as Left/Right, so if you are turning knobs it’s pretty quick. Battery seems to last a very long time, and when you are done you can use it to hang your acoustic panels. :)

Last thing, use the laser LAST. Get your spacing from the walls, and to your listening position down first, and your general toe-in. Make sure you hare happy with the spread of the imaging between the speakers. It should be full from left to center, to right, without gaps between.

THEN it's worth final level adjustments. Otherwise you do your laser adjustments a dozen times. :)  This is more important for those with uneven flooring.

Erik,
Thanks for letting me know. Actually I do have a laser level. But I want a laser distance measure to be more precise with the positioning.

Oh, so no.  It's not worth it. :) Invest the money in a comfy chair.

Once you are trying to put your head in a vice to get the best stereo, you've not only alienated yourself, and have no friends who can come and listen with you, but you might as well get headphones.

Best,

Erik
