Hi i was wondering what do you think the opptimal distance is to have your front speakers apart for perfect imaging, my chair where i sit is 9 ft away. The reason i am asking is my wife want to move everything onto a different wall and i would have more room to strech out, but if it is really not going to benifet my sound i dont think i want to go through the hassle.
Along the lines of what's been said . . .
One very nice tweak, I find, is bringing out the speakers away from the front wall.
Now, it's usually just not possible with many persons, because who wants speakers sitting plop in the middle of a room, getting in the way, etc?
But, if you have space, it can* be amazing what an extra couple of feet away from a wall will do for even entry level speakers. The cool thing is that since many of us use length-wise room orientation, by bringing out the speakers, we often achieve something closer to an equilateral triangle simply as a side bonus (and often a nice one at that).
Ah, I wanted to add, not necessary by any means, and almost always impossible, but if you could get all of your speakers at the same distance, that would be very nice, and possibly give you the best chance of holographic imaging. As said, nearly always impossible, but maybe you can for the front three only . . .
