Because the stainless-steel feet solidly couple the speaker to the floor, a flat, hardsurface such as wood or linoleum is preferable. However, the coupling system, along with the speakers’ substantialweight, should result in excellent performance on any surface, even carpeting.To decide on a final location for your speakers, survey your room and think about placement using the illustrationbelow as a guide.Listening Position40° – 60°>50cm(20 in) >50cm(20 in)For best results, place the speakers about two to three meters (about six to ten feet) apart. If you place the speakersfarther apart, angle them toward the listening position.The speakers will produce the most accurate stereo soundstage when the angle between the listener and the speakersis between 40 and 60 degrees.Position each speaker so that its tweeter is approximately at ear level.Generally, bass output will increase as the speaker is moved closer to a wall or corner. For best performance, werecommend that you place the speakers at least 50cm (about 20 inches) away from the side walls.NOTES ABOUT SPEAKER PLACEMENT:To prevent damage (scratches, indentations, etc.) to wood or linoleum floors due to the weight of these speakers,•always use the included coasters.
