Bingo! Moved my TV back about 5" toed in my speakers just a little so they crossed just behind my listening position and I am getting a pretty good holographic sounstage with good imaging. With grills off sound just a little more open. At last! Thanks for all the ideas. Changing polarity on one speaker, is that safe? I am still amazed at the dynamic range of these speakers for their size. Also they are now actually 30" from the wall, maybe lost a little of the deepest bass but mids and highs better. Life's full of little compromises this is one I can enjoy for a while. Thanks. Anyone have any ideas on subwoofer placement. Thats my next task.

I now have them 5.5' apart and have moved my seating position forward to 6.5' from them. No toe in. They image L to R, OK but F to Back very little. I am looking for the position that will give me the holographic imaging. Is that possible with the RB-5's or with any current Klipsch speakers. My previous position, the L to R imaging was more clearly defined but because they were further away I did not feel as involved in the music. I'll try this for awhile. It is really the front to back Imaging that will give me nice holographic sound that I am after. Thanks all, Ivan

The room is actually quite big, but it is my livingroom/diningroom so it has quite a few things in it that are not so easy to move around, 15.5' x 22'. My home theatre system is at the end along the 15.5" wall corner with my computer table next to them. There is an area carpet in that area between the speakers, computer and the sofa which is about 8' from speakers. The rest is hardwood floors so behind the sofa is the diningroom area and windows. A few pictures on the wall but no sound proofing or panels. Speakers are 5' apart (not 6')and now 20" from wall toed in only about 15deg. My ears are about 7.5' from speakers. Imaging a little better in this position but soundstage still flat. With no toe in center vocal (for example) is wide with no focus. I find if I move closer to the speakers then they become a little hard on the ears. That was why I went for these RB-5's instead of the RF-3's because they seem to be smoother and easier on the ears. Thanks for the ideas so far. All suggestions welcome. What can I do to make the room more accoustic?

I have just bought a pair of the RB-5 Speakers and found that the Horns were about 3 - 4" higher than my ear level sitting down. The soundstaging and imaging is very important for me sounstage is flat with little depth at the moment, imaging could be better too. The overall sound is great though. Using Onkyo SR600 and best Monster cable. Do you think I can turn my speakers upsidedown? Anyone know what positioning give the best soundstage? My listening distance from the speakers is only 8' and I am having difficulty setting them up. They are 6'apart and 16" from the rear wall. They are part of my home theatre set up but listening to music is the priority for me. Stands are spiked on carpet. Any other ideas to improve the soundstage and imaging. Should I try the RF-3II's same price. Any feedback or suggestions much appreciated. Thankyou Ivan, Vancouver Canada
