Hey Mike,
Well, I know Jakeman always said add 3ft for any component that is DSP based. So add 3ft for the sub, and also if you have something like the Velodyne SMS-1 in the equation, add another 3 ft.
I've been playing around with using the actual physical distance of 13ft, upto 16ft, and everything in between. I'm not seeing a huge difference between using the actual distance, or adding 3ft, or anything in between. But I see a huge difference compared to using 26ft, that is just crazy. I could hardly detect the 600 with a setting of 26ft for distance.
Right now, the kids are watching The Incredibles, and I have the 600 set at 13ft distance, which is what I'd get if I used a measuring tape, nothing added. It is performing great.
I would be interested for others like RickF to try this, his 600 is right next to the seating area.
