Curtains are reasonably thick and I did try the corners before but not on an axis where PWK advises with the cross of the axis extending infront of me at sitting postionCorner placement will work for the bass, but there are three cautions that go with corner placement, as we discussed before, concerning imaging, "air" and depth:- Reflections from the two near side walls must be prevented by putting absorbing material on the walls from where a yardstick placed flat against the La Scala's midrange horn mouth will touch the side wall, then extending the absorber to 2 or 3 feet into the room. Just extending the wall treatment you have now back nearer the corner but no farther back than the aforementioned yardstick (after the La Scalas are moved into the corners, of course). How thick are those curtains?
- There should be a carpet on the floor directly in front of the La Scalas.
- Toe them in toward your ears. If there is more than one listener, aim in a compromising way.
With that position the voices sounded very bassy and thick
Mind you I didnt have the carpet in front of the LSIIs
So that could have been the isssue
Does PWKs idea cancel out the bass nodes?

Correct that is in Celsius
Is that centigrade? That would be about 39 fahrenheit...

Lol yeah maybe you should stick to fishing much safer, damn I wish we had winter that only dropped to 90° [emoji4]Had no idea, that's way to cold for me, we average a couple cold nights each winter in the high teens at the most, 90's in the summer. And winter is only a few months and you would probably not even consider that winter.
I gave up skiing to dangerous, not that the sport is that dangerous but at my skill level it's dangerous. Being brave on skis with little talent is not a good combination.

Thanks Dtel, will give it a go, and yes the countryside is beautiful but its the middle of winter and 4° so try not to stay outside for too long unless we want to go skiing down south [emoji16]If it were me I would try them back a little but toed in ? They could always be put back where they are now.
Back corner of each speaker almost touching the side wall, front angled in to point where they cross where you want, almost touching the back wall also. I say this to get the most width of the room and your wall treatment would help with any sound reflecting off the front wall in front of the speaker. ? it's free to try, but only you can hear where you like them. I say this because if I were there I would be out site seeing the countryside. [emoji3]

Yes probally will try but most of the LSII owners on here have already done most of the hard work
[emoji4]In my opinion there is only one way of finding out - give it a try as each room and each set of ears (and taste) are different.

Okie dokie some advice needed please so knowing my listening room is not huge but is acoustically dampened where is the best place for these amazing speakers
I'm using cardas method currently and the sound is excellent but as we all know we have to ask for other ideas just incase we are missing something lol
So I was wondering if PWKs idea of having them perfectly placed in the corners like the klipschorn with the sound cross radiating about 3 feet in front me would work
Thoughts please
And as always I am very very greatful

People can believe what they want, it is called free will, if someone wants to believe they hear a difference then so be it, and if someone does not then again so be it
Every single one of us hears differently, case in point some people love tubes and others love solid state
At the end of the day their opinon is there opinon

They will be spectacular in that finish, cant wait to see the progress pics100% of the cabinets (except the laundry) are cherry. And a lot of our furniture also. So I'm leaning towards cherry. I love natural cherry how it just darkens and mellows with age and UV exposure.

Isolation cones limits vibration, tried the TT without and then with them and I feel things are a little tighter in the bass region [emoji6]

Damn you figured it out lolThey aren't sound absorbers, Deano lives in The Shaky Isles (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaky_Isles) , they are shock absorbers in case the walls fall on the listener.
