Imageman Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 I was wondering- anybody have any thoughts about the importance of having your mains an equaldistance from the center? I am wondering how much of an effect this has. ------------------ "Imaging is Everything" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boa12 Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 sounds better than not having them an equal distance. unless you have a distance setting in the receiver/prepro for each speaker. take it you don't have a choice. but the ideal is to have the distance between the 2 fronts the same as the distance from the listening position to each front speaker, & to have the center equally between the fronts. of course this isn't an ideal world. ------------------ My Home Systems Page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imageman Posted July 17, 2002 Author Share Posted July 17, 2002 Actually, I can set the distances for each speaker, and I do that. I was just wondering everyone's take on it. ------------------ TJ Farnsworth "Imaging is Everything" Mitsubishi WS-65819 Mitsubishi SR-HD5 DirecTV Pioneer Elite VST-37TX Pioneer Elite CLD Laserdisc Panasonic RP-62 DVD Mitsubishi HU-S747 SVHS Klipsch Epic CF-2 Mains Klipsch Legend KLF-C7 Center Klipsch Quintet Surrounds Home Built 'Uber' Subwoofer Pronto Pro XBOX DreamCast And another bedroom setup... but the signature is long enough!

avman Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 given that the soundstage from my klf-30 varies w/toe-in/out, i'd say it's VERY important. avman. ------------------ 1-pair klf 30's c-7 center (looking for 1-m.o.klf-20) ksps-6 surrounds RSW-15 sony strda-777ES receiver upgraded to v.2.02 including virtual matrix 6.1 sony playstation 2 sony dvpnc 650-v 5-disc dvd/cd/SACD changer dishnetwork model 6000 HD sat rcvr w/digital off-air tuner sony kv36xbr450 high-definition 4:3 tv sharp xv-z1u lcd projector w/84" 4:3 sharp screen Bello'international Italian-made a/v furniture panamax max dbs+5 surge protector/power conditioner monster cable and nxg interconnects/12 gua.speaker wire Natuzzi red leather furniture set KLIPSCH-So Good It Hz!

Mighty Favog Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 I'm using a pair of 20's and I can tell the difference in only five inches of moving my head left or right. Shame too, cause where my head is, is NOT in that sweet center spot. ------------------ Tom's Money Pit This message has been edited by tblasing on 07-17-2002 at 09:24 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
