BE36 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I have two very good corners but a very narrow space. Are there any recommendations for a min distance between Klipschorns? Does distance away factor in? (Seating is about 10 Feet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 What are the dimensions of your space? Any chance of putting your khorns on the wide wall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BE36 Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 No chance. I have what could be described two connected false corners, a U- Shaped area 4.5' deep by 10' wide that opens up to a larger area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryC Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 What are the room's dimensions, and is it a rectangular room? I don't understand the 4.5' X 10'. How about some pictures? It's marginal if the only available wall has corners only 10' apart. It might be OK -- all you can do is try it, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BE36 Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 I made an enclosure around the supporting poles in the basement. See drawing below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groomlakearea51 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Looks like from the diagram, they are going to be AT&T speakers (Reach Out And Touch One...)[] Get close and crank 'em up.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryC Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Any chance of removing that short wall to the supporting pole? The 16' corner-to-corner distance is nice, but not with a boxed-in speaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BE36 Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 That is an interesting idea. I have always thought using the opposite end of the basement 12+' wide with 2 nice corners but a window in the middle of the 12 foot wall. The window is short and up high I could come up with something but the wife likes the effect of a taller window look with some framing and shade we installed. Using the opposite end we could get 16' but 1) There is 6 inch build out, hides plumbing drain, in the one corner I would have to modify 2) My wife would have to approve of having the bathroom door right next to the Big Screen TV 3) My wife would have give up that mini wall that is the prime art location for a sculpture and other items (not very likely) and 4) Forte IIs as Rear Surrounds would end up in the middle of the living space. Good suggestion but a Lack of planning on my part, I should have foreseen Khorns and put the bathroom at the other end of the Basement before we tiled the floor. I will give it my best selling effort but Tech requirements are running into marriage requirements. I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BE36 Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 Looking like I just had AT&T Uverse installed last weekend for all the right reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randyman Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Hi was wondering how the music channels sound on your uverse??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BE36 Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 Sounds like other Dolby Digital 5.1 sources, DVD etc. No transmission issues clipping, etc. So sounds good but not as Master Audio & Dolby True HD, 2 Channel 96khz PCM from the Blue Ray player.

artto Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 What I'd like know is why so many people keep wanting to put an Allison aircraft engine in a Volkswagon chassis. Tip#1: (It doesn't fit) Tip#2: (there are more appropriate "engines" for the job at hand) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BE36 Posted November 22, 2008 Author Share Posted November 22, 2008 Reason # 1 - It is fun Reason # 2 - Sounds better then Forte IIs I went with the La Scalas, Hopefully this spring we will move then into the other end of the room that is just over 12 feet wide. What speaker would work better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcmusic Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Here is my setup at 13.5 wide and I sit back about 11 ft. It is an old pic, but the distances are still the same. Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 12' wide is better than 10'. Mine were 13' feet apart, but I built false corners so I could turn them out into the room. Another area of concern here is the distance back from the Klipschorns -- you really need to be at least 12' feet back from them for the bass to sum properly.

psg Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I would put the Khorns on the 16 foot wall on the right, with the center speaker and TV screen on the wall next to the door. 10 feet is just not enough and, for my taste, even 16 feet is pushing it. But the sweet spot would be 8 feet away from the front wall which is decent for a 50-inch 1080p HDTV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
