Although your Reference Series speakers will perform well in a wide variety of locations,you will get the most out of them by following some simple guidelines:
• The speakers require a few inches of clearance behind them to allow their ports to breathe, and they will sound best when they are at least two feet (60 centimeters) from any nearby walls.
• If possible,arrange both speakers so that they are equal distances from the floor and the wall behind them.It can also help to have the left and right speakers at different distances from their nearest side walls.This sort of staggering helps smooth the bass range.
• Any speaker’s bass output and response is strongly influenced by its distance from room b o u n d a r i e s, such as walls and the fl o o r. Moving a speaker closer to a room boundary will increase its bass output, while moving it aw ay will reduce the bass. Following the sugg e s t i o n s above will typically yield good results with Klipsch Reference Series floorstanding speakers, but you may find that you can “ f i n e - t u n e ” the sound by moving them slightly from side to side or front to back until music recordings with strong bass content sound just right to you. Don’t be afraid to experiment.
