[QUOTE="PV Audio, post: 1458755, member: 554493"] Ah, the question of imaging. To me, this is the most important aspect of the audio experience. First, you need to spread them out far enough so that you have a decent sound stage. Next, you want to angle the speakers inwards (like toe-in on a car) so that they make an imaginary triangle with you at the middle. MAKE SURE THE TRIANGLE IS ISOSCELES. Otherwise, the image will be biased left or right. What I do (don't flame for nerdness, it's awesome) is I went to office max and bought two of their smallest laser pointers. Depending on the height of the speaker you may have to position it high or low, but either way place it in the middle of the speaker anywhere you can. Turn them on and aim them at your listening location. When the dots merge at where you're sitting (no bias), you have found the spot. Remember, an INCH can make a drastic difference. [/QUOTE]
