[R-15m sound "boomy" after reposition]

Got a pair for myself Christmas

  I've been playing around with placing mine, too. Distance from the wall [to back of speaker] seems to have quite a bit of influence.

I am no expert on R-15m, however the RP160m that I have been listening lately also benefits with pulling them out a bit from the rear wall.

That also works for my RF 42IIs. Give them a little space to breath if you can, and try to keep the same distance from rear wall for both speakers. And try to put them on some rigid stands. Point them (angle them) more towards your listening position. I would try 10 degrees toe-in and play further on angles as per your room acoustics.

 

Thank you all! I turned the speaker a little bit more in my direction and run Audissey again. It's actually much better, but still not 100% "satisfying". I'll try to increase the distance from the wall and see (hear) what happens.

Hi dross. Moving the LF to the right would cause an asymmetry (I can't move the RF to the left - I need place to access the back of the tv)

Not shure if this can be compensated by the avr.

But thanks for the advice.

Toe them in so they are pointing directly at you instead of straight ahead.

 

If you're using any kind of room correction software in your receiver re-run it anytime you make changes like that.

 

And welcome to the forum!

Hi wuzzzer, thank you for the VERY fast answer! U're right... I completely fergot to run the Audissey of my Denon again. Thx for reminding me.

First post fot me, so hello community! I have 2 R-15m as main speakers in my small 3.1 System (FL, FR, C, SW). In order to get a better stereo image (music is running on 2.1) I had to increase the distance of the speakers. Doing so, I had to lower them. The tweeter ist now approx. 20-30cm below ear-level. Although I don't consider myself an audiophile I feel something has changed. The sound ist now "boomier" and mids/hights less defined... The speakers are slightly tilted, so the tweeter point the ears. Ist there something else I can do to compensate? I uploaded a picture (really poor quality, sorry). The room might look bigger than it ist :-)
