Heritage_Head Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 So I received the first of 3 packages that I ordered last week (stands/wire management stuff, and speakers). These stands look and feel amazing can’t wait to get the speakers (rb-61ii). I would love some input on how far back I should put them. My surrounds are about 7’ away from the middle of the couch if that matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRishi Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 What speaker stands are those? I am looking for somethign for the RB-81II. But at almost 30lbs, most stands dont seem to be up to the task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at almost 30lbs, most stands dont seem to be up to the task. They are VTI stands and most places charge about 145 I found these for 129 they are 89 for the 19” and then more as you go up. How tall are you looking for? http://www.avfstore.com/speaker-stands/vti-rf-series-speaker-stands-pair.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRishi Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 With the RB-81II being 19 inches tall, 29" or 30" would put it as the same height as the RF-7II's. Im hoping that is high enough for rears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRishi Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 About 10 feet behind LP. I use Denon's Audyssey MultEQ XT to set up everything. Seems to be working pretty good for my room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be working pretty good for my room. How far away are your side surrounds (rs-62ii)? I was thinking about setting up the rears at about 5-6’ away. Do you think that would be to close? My rs-62ii are about 6-7’ away from the lp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRishi Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Our side surrounds are 8ft from LP and 2ft behind us. I dont think the distance from LP of the sides or rears are a huge issue as long as you have a DB Meter or AVR that can adjust the levels correctly. Are you running all your speakers at the default levels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage_Head Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 I use the auto test and then get the db meter out as well. I also have a little extra adjusting (levels) I do for my personal tastes. I nitpick everything pretty good with distances, placements, and everything else. Sony ES doesn’t use Audyssey it has its own ES EQ system that works pretty good. Not sure which one I like better but I do like both the Odyssey and the Sony ES system. I haven’t gotten my hands on the MultEQ XT yet but it sounds really nice. I know the MultEQ XT has a way better sub eq then what the ES has. It has very little to offer in sub control so I bought the sms-1 sub eq. So that will save you some money when you do get a sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornfedksboy Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I just ordered the Sanus 30" stands from Vanns for $40.00. They aren't big enough for the big Klipsch book shelves, but hopefully they'll do well for my WF-14s I currently have on TV trays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are for my upstairs 5.1 system so they're actually side surrounds. The misses has been very forgiving letting them sit in our living room on the tv trays. For my 7.1 downstairs, I use RF-25 towers. They are about 9 foot behind my MLP and directly flanking my back row of seating. I need to elevate those as well.

Do you use dolby pro2x for the 5.1 movies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
