Hi Steve,by "...turn the other speaker, the one against the wall, about 45 degrees away." do you mean "toed out" 45 degrees ?
I spent a few hours over the Christmas holiday exploring the benefits of Master Set in my system and I think I came away more confused than convinced. But, as many have said, it takes a lot of patience and time to get it right. Don't think I'm there yet, but haven't given up yet either.I do have one question... if striving to maintain an equilateral triangle, then why would you not move the first speaker toward you along the triangle angle rather than moving it out perpendicular to the long wall? Is it easier to hear the changes in the bass when moving perpendicular rather than directly toward the listening position?
I would not mind giving this method a try, but my speakers weigh 115 lbs each. Anyone ever try this method with heavier speakers?
Hi Afterimage,Yes, my Genesis 5s weigh almost 140lbs so I attached casters to the bottom by drilling four holes and screwing in threaded inserts. If you don't want to do that then I can highly recommend furniture gliders available at any hardware store. I have hard floors but if you have carpet then the gliders will work very well.I have been meaning to post about my experience and include some pictures but right now my bed is in the middle of my living room due to having just gone through open heart surgery. My bedroom is in the basement and I can't climb the stairs for a few weeks so my friends moved my bed upstairs for the interim. I will get it done as soon as I get the bed moved back down stairs.I do want to say that I am glad I tried it and am very happy with the results. I did get a bunch of coaching from Jon Finnegan, a friend of member timztunz, and I feel his help reduced the trial and error period by at least a couple of weeks.Well Steve beat me to it with shorter post. I also got sidetracked by a phone call but the long and short of it is you should give it a try.JakeJ
Hey Bob it looks like your left speaker is straight facing and your right is slightly toed in. Is this how you ended up with equal room loading being so close to the right corner/g-father clock?
Hi, just want to check something with this setup - it mentions to switch off the sub at the start. A few sites mention having amp set to small speakers and set sub for direct, so bass isn't really going to the mains. Does this mean I should be reconfiguring amp to pass bass to the mains, until placement is at it's best, then turn it back off?
