What is the minimum distant for Zu?


This is for Zu definition owners, I have the def3's and now have them about 10 in from front wall and about 2 ft from sides

What is the minimum from the front you recommend? thanks,Scott

I set my Definitions with the listening position at 1.25x the tweeter distance apart this weekend. Best setup I have had. Also like it toe'd out at maybe 1/3 of the inner cabinet showing.
My room is my bedroom with my listening chair at the foot so it's in the only place it can be.

The room is a nice size though it's a little over 23 ft long by 15 wide and 8 ft ceilings,it also has a large bathroom off of that it's all open.

I am around 14 ft off the front wall so have some room to work with was just trying to get some ideas because I thought the wider apart the speakers were the wider soundstage?

It's my listening area so as far as them being in the way or looking out of place that doesn't matter.

I just want to get the most out of my speakers, I don't watch much tv and believe it or not the big reason I got this house was for my listening area space.

I am addicted to music in a big way.

Like everyone else here,I just want to get the most out of what I have.thanks,Scott
Thanks for all the info, I'll try a few things and see what sounds best, but from what I gather further into the room as long as I have a minimum of 10 ft from the speakers should do the trick.

52tiger, Looks like your speakers have built in adjustable subwoofers. Which makes it much easier to dial in the bass. Assuming you have your speakers on the short wall I would try pulling them out about 6 to 7 feet from the back wall. That should leave you about 10' from the speakers to the listening possition assuming your bed is on the other side of the room and you sit in front of it. You will have to readjust the bass controls as the bass will be less strong with the speakers pulled from the corners of the room. You should notice a deeper soundstage and a bigger sound with the speakers farther into the room. As for how far from the side walls 2 to 3 feet is a good place to start.

After you try that I would just move them around forwards and back/ side to side till you find the sweet spot for your taste. Being able to adjust the bass is a big bonus because it allows you to set the speakers in the best place for the soundstage then you can dial in the bass for that placement. My speakers have adjustable bass as well and I don't think I would have it any other way.
