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

8 feet off the front wall should give you a deep soundstage into your front wall relative to the plane of the speaker drivers. There may also be depth behind you. Of course huge width as you've said now and in other posts.

Thanks for the bump Trevor. Cheers. Adding it to my follow list now. I’ll try and contribute here when it makes sense to.

Cool beans!

Mojo, there is a point of diminishing returns like anything else. Once the speakers are far enough away from the wall that the bass no longer couples at all there is little benefit to moving them out further. I wouldn't bother with more than 4' unless you have a space that is huge and single purposed with subs. In that case..... mwa ha ha ha ha!

4' is the 1/4 wavelength of 80hz or so. Beyond that is pointless if you have subs IMO. Look up Allison Effect.

In Kodiaks room the speakers are able to be placed closer than the ratio implies, because we are able to place the listener in an ideal spot and place the speakers at ratios from the front and sidewalls that are not going to cause a deep bass cancellation.

It is fun to put speakers way out in the room, I think Brwsaw did it. But not really practical once the vacuum comes out...

Agreed about the point of diminishing returns.

Placing these guys was fun back when.... But still went through the process. Worth the time! Lasers all the way.

Had a demo last night so took the chance to take a pic of scale with guest. Perhaps a future Axiom owner. He liked the M5s.

Anyway. Chance to post a fun photo.

Is the speaker that tall or are you that short?

That tall. 6' guy. Not me

I think Trevor said he built those himself ...

Missed the "and guest" part.

He built them.
