Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler What system?

Just think about placement, maybe draw it out or simulate it with some boxes on the floor. The 80s are big speakers and usually don't like to be stuck right against the back wall -- plan to have the fronts at least 3 feet away from the wall and sometimes 4 feet away.

If you can't get a good layout with the fronts of the 80s 3-4 feet from the back wall you might want to think about 60s... they're a bit smaller and don't seem to need quite as much space, maybe 3 feet from the wall to the front of the speakers vs. 4 feet for the 80s.

This is all just based on anecdotal feedback from owners and probably depends a lot on the room. Just saying this because the only unhappy 80 owners I have heard about are ones who needed to stuff them real close to the back wall. Everyone else raves about the sound.
