Speaker setup. Rf7iii

[CoryGillmore]

Brother, looking at your room, I think I would try them on them left side long wall. I surely wouldn't want to be blocking exterior doors with my audio gear. Plus that front left is too close to the side wall. Using the long wall will give the speakers more room to breathe. I use the long wall in my own home.

It has been said many times on this forum that the long wall is the way to go with Klipsch speakers.

I wouldn't know cause I don't have that possibility 🙂

But it couldn't hurt to try.

You can do the old subwoofer craw to see where placement would be best.

I did and didn’t really notice much difference except in terms of spl. It was hard to tell the difference in all the spots I would put it,

What do you have on the wall behind the listening position?

Some curtains could help clear the sound you hear.

I have curtains on the left side of the left wall right by my front left speaker and some behind the front left speaker. Because there’s are two windows right there. But I should probably put up two more in the same spot on the right side I just don’t want it to look weird as there are no windows right there.

The front left and right speakers are the same distance from the side walls. About 26 inches from the side wall to the tweeter. Do you think it would work to have them on that left side wall. The right wall sinks back towards the bathroom and the other two bedrooms about Half way into the room.

Do you think it would work like this. How far away from

the side walls do you think the rf7iiis should be measured from the center of the tweeter l? Ya thanks for letting me know. I doubt I will change everything up but maybe at some point. I’m happy with the way everything sounds but who knows. It would just be awkward putting a big couch right there it would kinda be blocking the extra way to the bathroom. Actually just bought a couch it should be here soon. And a new entertainment center to raise up the center a lil and give the center and tv something more sturdy to sit on.

How are things sounding to your ears after trying a few things?

It sounds amazing. Had a couple serious listening sessions and cried both times. Realized a couple days ago I had my speaker wire backwards. It has arrows on it and I believe this made my speakers out of phase or whatever you call it. Fixed that and they sound amazing thanks for asking. Hope everyone had a good new year and holiday.

Ya I don’t care about blocking doors lol. It would be off to have them set up over there. But doable possibly. It’s something I will think about. But yet both speakers are same distance from side wall. I also added an extra curtain to go behind the front right speaker to match the left side.
