Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Speaker Setup?

Yup. That's what I did. Took me 6 months to dial them in. Then had to do it all over again once I upgraded the first time. Then 5 times more after the next 5 upgrades. Almost hung myself...by my member.

Forgot to mention that's one speaker at a time. Playing stereo no subs. Fine detail only needed on second speaker.
It's a good pass time and gives you the most optimal placement really helps to the go around the best stereo one can get.

More!

Then I had to do it in the living room after spending 13 years torturing myself in the basement.

Takes me an hour or so. 6 months?!

Thats like million monkeys on typewriters.....

Teasing. More!

I can get 99.8% if the way there in the first 7 minutes. The other 262,793 minutes is to dial them in.

So what kind of results have you had from this. Are they really worth it for you?

Takes me a couple hours. The millimeter bit is an S.O.B.
My Livingroom is open to rest of house mostly so peaks and nulls show and confuse me like nuts. Need a couple B.C. greens and lots of calm.
But through the headache it gets pretty close to the perfect holograph this is supposed to achieve.

The effort is really worth it. Come feel my biceps.

I can imagine
The perfect stereo placement with those LFRs must be utterly awesome everywhere.
A good cheat to this method is to use a bookshelf.
Being this goes too look for the most efficient spot in desired location. Once you have the spot marked or memorized. can speed up the process a lot

No, using a bookshelf does not substitute for a larger speaker with more drivers. The radiation pattern and room interaction is completely different. I've tried all the speakers in my sig in at least two different rooms and they all ended up in different spots.
