Where should I position my speakers?
We recommend spending some time experimenting in your own room to achieve the best results, especially considering how architectural factors can influence low-frequency performance.
The following guidelines are intended as a starting point for positioning your monitors. Fine-tuning can be carried out from here:
Position the speakers so that their front faces are not blocked by any protruding objects in the room, such as a fireplace, bookcase, or television.
Ensure that stereo pairs are equidistant from the listening position. Modern home theater receivers and processors can accommodate slight differences in arrival times.
Ideally, place the front left/right and center channel (if has) speakers at the same height—usually at ear level when seated at the primary listening position.
When determining the spacing between left and right speakers, imagine an equilateral triangle with the listening position. For example, if you are seated 3 meters from the speakers, they should be roughly 3 meters apart. Generally, bringing the speakers closer will narrow the sound stage, while spacing them too far apart will weaken the sound stage image or feel disjointed. Experimentation within your room is encouraged.
Speakers can be toed-in to improve stereo imaging, so that the axes of each speaker cross approximately 100 cm behind the primary listening position.
Any speaker from the Quested range can be used as surround (side or rear) channels in a multichannel music or movie system. Place them just behind the listener and about 1 meter above ear level when seated.
