Islander Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 In the interest of consistency and the reduction of confusion, the wall behind the front speakers is the front wall, and the wall behind the rear speakers is the rear wall. Each room has only one front wall and only one rear/back wall. That should be easy to remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do have a point, though. When someone mentions a Left Side wall, for example, but is not clear on which way he or she is facing, that can introduce confusion. When someone mentions the Main speakers and then refers to the wall behind them as the rear wall, and then goes on to refer to the wall behind the sitting position and the Rear speakers as the rear wall also, you can see how that can be really confusing. Reading posts like that can make you dizzy. So this may seem like a small point, but it's an essential point. I don't want to disparage anyone, but some of the postings that are requests for help can be tricky to understand, so if at least one thing can be generally agreed on, then the call for help is more likely to get helpful answers, or at least some kind of reply. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wall in front of the listener is then the front wall. A video screen is placed in front of the viewer on the "front wall". If someone told you that they had placed their video screen on the "rear wall" we would all wonder why. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 That seems totally obvious to you and me, but it's surprising how often posters seem to be looking at the "rear wall" behind their front speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does anyone care about thread being dead? So strange to me. If I am looking for answers I dont care how old the thread is. I dont skip dead threads. Whenever I find the thread, it is new to me and anyone else that comes across the thread after it stops gaining additional comments. So weird... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But some members seem to enjoy patrolling the forums and calling out the replies to old threads. Everyone needs a purpose in life, you know.

Islander Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Welcome to the Forum, Tony! The issue with old threads is that some are started by a person who never posts again, but sometimes the responses keep coming for literally years after the poster has disappeared. The Forum is meant to be interactive, but that example isn't. However, if you find anything useful in the archives, be my guest. Really. Who knows what you'll find? I've been here since 2006, and I learn a lot every month, never mind every year. I thought I knew a lot at the start, but man, was I wrong. Happy listening!

Tony Dennison Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Thanks for the welcome guys. I purchased my first Horn and Klipsch, the H4 and once I got the placement of the 4's,and the sub and the break in, I'm loving it. The detractors on line are hilarious.
