JohnJ where are you?

NewBedfordWhaler based on history here where I live, the office where the stereo is has a 180 degree view of the ocean and it is just a gorgeous place to live....

Mallette, When you say in the corners, give me an idea of how close to side walls and rear walls, I have some room to play with all this is inhere is the stereo, a desk and a small love seat across from the wire rack. I read somewhere that these are supposed to be close to the walls, is that a non truth?

You guys are all great, I have them 18" off the back well toed in probably around 15 degrees to center position. My other guess seeing it is 6:30 AM, volume must be at a higher level to really listen for differences....and right now cant turn em up much :)...well maybe for a minute! I am getting a better sound here, Bass is not my problem, they do just fine in that regard and I believe it to be tight concise and clear. I did think about smaller speakers and still am frankly,but the sound of these I describe as 'Round" to people as it is just so full and nice, I don't know the words!

Hello folks, first time poster here. I have a gorgeous pair of Forte III’s in Walnut with Lambswool Grilles running off of a Rogue Atlas Magnum II, driven by a Rogue RP-1 Pre Amp in a small 10 X 11 room with 2 openings on adjacent walls and in the corners. Former bedroom we blew through one wall and removed the door on the other opening. I am looking for optimal placement for that 3D soundstage like a water filled aquarium. I have heard room treatments are critical, I don’t buy it and really can’t in this room. I have the speakers raised on 11” walnut custom plinths for lack of a better term. The sound is outstanding. I also have a Klipsch SW 112 12” sub. Any opinions on maximizing my 3 dimensional room filing, speaker disappearing sound? Thanks, Whaler
