    Anyone ever tried an "L" speaker placement, before?

    Here is a recent picture of my recent setup.

    As you can see in the picture facing the TV, I have one speaker facing towards the couch - directly accross from the TV - and the other to the right of the couch.

    Has anyone ever tried this way before? I am finding it is a really great way to position the speakers.

    I also went down to my local glass shop and got two glass tops cut. I purchased a white glass with plexiglass in between two pieces.

    Opinions welcome.

    The NAK stuff is on the credenza.

    Thanks.



    -Storm.

    Well it depends on what you are looking for. I always find an equal distance between the speakers works best with an Equilateral triangle arrangement with the prime listening postion the best of all.

    I'd swap places between the "wall" speaker and the record cabinet next to your TV - that way, you'd have a speaker equal on each side of the TV.

    I have my L65's place in roughly the same way, by that I mean along two different walls. It's nothing I have come with myself, it was someone on the web who recomended it and had some technical reasoning why one should do it. I have since lost the address to the site where I read it (sorry).

    According to this guy the speakers should be placed at 1/3 and 2/3 of the distance from the adjoing walls. An example:

    I have the right hand speaker 1/3 of the distance to the wall to the right of that speaker. The left speaker is 2/3 of the distance from the wall to the left of it. That means they is placed like an L that has been tilted 90 degrees to the right.

    Some experiments in a speaker placing program shows that one gets a unusually even frequency response in the room this way. And, the most important thing, it sounds very good!
