Front speaker placement and imaging??

[jayswizz]

Hello everyone,
Due to some new furniture in my living room I had to change my front speaker placement. I actually had to move them closer together which I hope does not effect the imaging. They now have to sit about 3 inches from either side of my tv. The tv is about 4 ft wide. From each speaker it is about 7.5 ft to the main listening position. The speakers are a pair of Paradigm Studio 60's V.3. The manual says they should be 3/4 up to the total(7.5) in feet to the prime listening position. My question is are they too close together for proper imaging?

Yes, I would say they are a little too close together. I found the 'digms to be relatively picky about placement too. I think another issue is going to be the TV being between them with them that close to it. If you can, pull them at least 6" forward from the display.
