Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker
The Summits also work very well at wider than average spacing. I've had them 11' apart, 9.5' listener distance. The trick is to roughly maintain the off axis angular relationship found in Dale's 7/11 (spacing/ears) rule of thumb, which is about 18...
