Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Looking for M60 Initial Placement tips

I was looking for spacing/toe in suggestions from anyone who might have a room setup similar to mine. I have the M60s behind an AT Screen.

Room is 11.5 up front 13.5 rear and 23.25' long
2.35 10' wide Screen is 2 feet from front wall
Seating is at 13.5 and 19.5'

My initial placement was with the towers about 9' apart and toe in pointing to a spot just behind the front row, but I wont get a chance to try it out until later this week.

Below are a couple pics from my contstruction thread at AVS.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome, nice to have another 2.35 10ft guy on the boards. I used to have m60's and currently have m80's. My first row of seating is 3 lazy boy recliners. I also have a stage below my screen, but am not using an AT screen. My front wall is 15ft wide so my speakers are to the left/right of the screen.

When seated in the front row, the tweeters of my 80's pretty much are at ear level, maybe slighly higher. The VP150 is mounted right below the lower edge of the screen and tilted slighly upward.

In regards to toe-in, so far I've found the best results by having my 80's (or 60's) aimed just behind the head of the person sitting in the middle recliner. When seated it looks like the side of my 80's closest to the screen is just skimming past to cooresponding ear.

The front row is about 13ft or so back and I have my 80's spread out about 12ft or so.

Thanks for the feedback, sounds like I should be close at least for a starting point.

I noticed that in my room that for music my M80s sound best toed in just as Randy described. For movies I prefer them facing straight out with no toe-in. However, my seating is only 7.5 feet back from the screen so it may not be a factor for you.
