I hope I'm not stepping on someone's toes here but I'd like to clarify just what Darren means by "if you want floorstanders you need room to put them in space and to avoid excessive bass frequencies." I believe that he's referring to the fact that speakers placed in or very near to the corners of a room will tend to produce an excessive amount of bass. Obviously the way to avoid this is to place the speakers away from the corners and out into the room. So one would want to place floor standing speakers a few feet away from the corners for both the back and side of each speaker. The same thing applies to stand mounted "bookshelf" speakers. Try to place each speaker a few feet out from the rear wall and a few feet away from each side wall. I hope this helps. -- ralphpnj Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels -> Snatch -> The Transporter -> Transporter 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43944 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
