    Default Rti12 speaker distances

    Any thoughts on ideal set up for these. How far apart should they be, and how far from the back wall should they be?

    Thanks for the help!

    Trial and error are your friends. Want a starting point? Start three feet from any boundry and form an equal lateral triangle with the speaks at your listening position.

    Then move them around until the significant other stops (or starts) yelling and the still sound decent.

    You must have some significant other. Mine can't tell the difference in sound between my set up and a clock radio.:D

    Yup, mine hear's like a freakin fruit bat:
    "You left the laptop on downstairs"
    "How can you tell?"
    "YOU DON'T HEAR THAT!!!"
    "WTF????"


    That said, as long as it makes a noise resembling the intended song, she's fine.
