I'd recommend Vandersteen 2Wq or Rel Strata II/III, both of which use the signal out of your amp, for the m... | |

| Long or short wall Sugarbrie is right about defaulting to the short wall. I think the biggest mistake the general public makes about speaker placement is that of treating sound projection like HVAC. You're not pumping air into a room, so the popular notion of "dispe... |
