Over the weekend, I decided to swap the positions of my audio system and listening sofa just to see how it would affect the sound. I had been concerned about the limited space between the speakers, but it was simply impossible to increase the distance between them any further without interfering with the door area. The challenge was to keep the room’s functionality intact so that the door remained fully accessible.
Repositioning the system and listening seat turned out to be a great success, confirming my belief that speaker placement adjustments can bring dramatic improvements.
In his book Get Better Sound, Jim Smith explains how to achieve maximum performance from a Hi-Fi system, and he stresses the fact that proper speaker setup has a crucial influence on the system’s overall performance.
In my post on speaker placement, I mentioned that one has to respect the limitations of the room and keep its domestic functions intact. After switching the audio system and listening positions, the room actually feels even more spacious, the sound has become bigger, and I simply feel happy with the result.
