A QUESTION FOR KEN

[WJGJ]

HELLO KEN, REGARDING THE KLIPSCH RP8000F II SPEAKERS, YOU SUGGESTED TOE-ING THEM IN SUCH THAT THE TWEETERS INTERSECT 8 FEET BEHIND THE LISTENERS HEAD.

MY QUESTION IS FOR THIS RECOMMENDATION WHAT WOULD BE THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE SPEAKERS?

THANKS

Who is Ken? The distance would be where the toeing in angle intersects 8 ft behind the listener. Why the all caps?

Ken is perhaps the mysterious figure whom Dan Rather's attacker asked, "What is the frequency, Kenneth?" ?
REM based their song on the incident.

This is a strange post. I have used and reviewed the RP-8000 II speakers, and I don't think precise positioning is that necessary. If you have a pair, I would just experiment with placement until you find what sounds best to you. But I don't think you will see a lot of change with minute adjustments.

YES, 80 YEARS IN THIS WORLD AND I DON'T SEE WELL, MACULAR DEGENERATION IN BOTH EYES. KEN IS THE PERSON WHO WROTE THE THREAD. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A SIMPLE QUESTION, NOTHING TO BE DISGRUNTLED ABOUT.

Could you tell us the title of the article so we can find it? Otherwise I think many of us are not able to help. There have been a few Kens, but I think many of them are not frequently on here now.

All caps posting can be offputting but if it helps you see/read, you do what you gotta do. Have no idea what thread Ken started, tho. How far apart do you normally spread the speakers? Where do you sit in relation to the speakers? Room dimensions? That sort of info might yield some suggestions.....
