How do you properly set up a horn speaker


Hi- I have a set of Classic audio T1.4 horns that I am setting up - Do horns get set up the same way as regular speakers- I was going to use the cardas method but want to be sure that is fine- Also my room is 15x28 but at the point where the speakers are is a bay window(treated) that jets out to 17 feet so when using the calculator from cardas do I use the 17 feet where the speakers sit or the 15 feet which is the rest of the room- Thanks for the input-

@fluffers --

It seems you've got wonderful speakers - congrats. 

Be pragmatic; pay special attention to advice from someone with actual experience with speakers very similar to yours (i.e.: poster @atmasphere ) or horns in general (i.e.: poster @johnk ). As an owner of horn speakers myself I'll concur with the suggestion to start out with your T1.4's close to the rear wall, and then work from there. Really, don't bother yanking those fine speakers way into the room or theorize too heavily on placement, both of which I believe will be strongly counterproductive. Keep them close to the rear boundary, and toe them in a bit. Then try and fine tune from this outset.
