Speaker distance

@parkergetdean 

After months of fiddling around with my speakers to lock in the sound you bet I k know the distances. I still haven’t pulled up the Blue Painters tape from the carpet, much to my wife’s dismay. 😁

Oh, when you come over, don’t forget the popcorn!

Any time! 

For caster fans,

consider only 3, it’s more weight per wheel, thus moves but further resists moving, and no leveling required anywhere you move them

I also tilt mine back a bit, by putting a 2 x 4 flat above the front wheels, raising the front 1-1/2", which aims the tweeters up to seated ear level, and alters the angles of reflections off the floor and ceiling, as toe-in alters the reflections of side walls.

you can see the bottom here

my skirt acts as anti-tip protection. The old glides do not touch the floor, I just left them there.

These wheels are dual wheel furniture casters. I tried several ’better’ casters, I found dual wheel axels wobble far less than single wheel axels, I put these back on.

The wheels came from the bottom of my JSE Infinite Slope Model 2’s.

They had a flat bottom, no skirt. I changed them to 3, moved the rear wheel to the middle, and then added anti-tip blocks in the rear corners, just above the floor, they hit the floor if it tips while moving.

btw, I tried spikes with the JSEs, I heard no advantage, they are quite limiting.

ps, they are often shown backwards, the tweeters should be on the inside edge due to their narrower dispersion. I loved them, a friend has them now, I missed my horns and wanted to get back to tubes.

Per my experience all speakers lock in (image) properly at about 8 ft apart.

Doesn’t matter where one sits. 
 

a desktop setup and near field listening is different.
