edzu1234 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Does anyone have first hand advice for best placement of rear ported RB-5 Bookshelf Speakers (on pedestals) in relation to distance from walls? Thank you in advance for your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Just make sure they aren't closer to the wall than the length of the diameter of the port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 When I had my second pair of RB-5's, the rear of speakers were around 8 inches from the wall. Not boomy, just right. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pzannucci Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Depends on the room but typically 8"-12" up to around 3 feet. Depends on the balance you want. The bass reinforcement will be less after a foot but in many rooms, up to 3 foot will give you smoother, more extended bass at listening position.
