Set up Dunlavy SCIV's

I just got the Dunlavy SCIV's from the used shop. It came to me without any manual so I have to try myself. I have a few question need people here who own or ever set up them before to solve my problem.

1. How can I set it up correctly? I have set it with the short wall position but read many from this forum and sound like Dunlavy want us to do it on long wall. My room is 13'*20'*9' size.

2. Can this speaker biamp ? Currently I have 2 amp to use on them. One is a very samll nice sound Pass Alep3 that sound very nice except when they play with classical music. No punch and deep bass to drive the speaker. Another is local made 100 watts that sound good but still behind Alep in term of clarity, tranparency. I like to get one more Alep 3 to do vertical biamp. Have anyone try this and any comment?

Thanks

you'll find you need to sit approximately 10 feet from the speakers for the best blending of the drivers to occur so in your room the placement along the longer wall isn't going to work.

the 10 ft is measured along axis between the seating position and the speakers not from the seating position and the center of the plane of the speakers so the long wall will work as long as the speakers are spred out.

Hello Piezo,

I just have a chance to try the long wall set up on last weekened. The result is so impressive comapre to short wall set up. I set the speaker around 10 ft aparts and 3.5 ft from back wall. I couldn't belived is sound very good. My wife and friend visited me last night and he told me that it's very significant improvement. Good news is I have no need to invest any dollar but just move the speaker.

Thank for your suggestion.
