The Power of Positioning


I moved my Sonus Faber EA 11's out from the rear wall in my listening room. They were closer to two feet from the rear and I brought them out an additional foot to three feet from the rear wall. Well let me tell you the improvement was fantastic. The upgrade in sound was greater than any equipment upgrade I have ever made. I am now a believer in proper setup. Work on your room and positioning and you will be rewarded.

Just can't resist joining in this circle jerk. I can't believe what people spend their money on, yet ignore simple room acoustics! Now how many have tuned in their listening position as accurately as their speakers, or is this one in the same? And don't give me any crap about WAF. :-)
Yep, trade out the acoustic foam for some book cases and lots of various sized books - it becomes dispursive in nature which is usually better than absorbtive, and it will impress the hell out of people who will think you are literate - Make sure you get the Gibbon's Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire series - but if you do crumple pages to make it look read. :-)
