revel Salon 2 seating distance

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.

I have my Salon 2s spread 10 feet wide and sit about 9 feet back (they are currently close to the back wall, but will be moved out into the room fairly soon). As I am sure you've already discovered, the Salon 2's tweeter dispersion is absolutely outstanding and the sound in less-sweet spots deeper into the room is still quite good.

BTW, I'm a Kuro guy too: KRP-600M and 5080 in the main house, and a KRP-500M in the summer house. Great displays!

THe Salon 2s are much taller speakers than the Original Salons I believe. I am aware that the tweeter is quite good off axis, but there should be a limit on the angle below tweeter axis which would be optimal. Hence my question. Also in my current room stage depth is less than I would like I think because they are to close to the front wall, which is why I was curious about where people have them positioned. If in thenew room I have them 5 feet out from the wall instead of 2 or 3, and I sit back 10 or 12 feet instead of 8 or 9, clearly I will end up being too far back from a 60inch display, so despite how wonderful it is , I may have to go in a different direction.
