2-channel placement - critique? *pics*

[spidey07]

Still trying to place these well. I'm getting good bass and imaging but the depth could be better. Pull them into the room more? Distance of panels from rear-wall is 5 feet.

thanks for any input.

Those things are frickin' huge! And your coke is awfully close to your laptop bud

(BTW, I have no idea in reference to your original question)

Holy Christmas.......your coke is too close to your notebook, kiddo!

 

[spidey07]

actually, looking at the pick I could work on the toe-in on both of them.

need to be around the inner 1/3rd of the panel at the listening position.

Taking another pic to see where the flash hits.

sell them and give me some money those speakers are so expensive

Is that a nc6000? Anyways, what's going in between? 61" Samsung DLP?

this is a 2 channel system...ain't gonna put anything between them. They only really opened up when I got the tv out of there.

even when you put the horizontal plane in front of the TV?

I would just call ML, as I'm sure they'd be more than happy to help you out...different speaker companies will suggest a different ratio of separation/distance-from-seat.

I can't say I've played with placement too much on electrostatic speakers much, but I would toe them in so that they aim just about a foot behind you.

And nice way of showing off.

Right speaker is to close to the right wall, but you may not
be able to get around that...

some kind of diffusion on the back wall would be nice too.

What the hell are these things? I've never seen speakers like this before.

These are Electrostatic speakers made by Martin Logan. very respectable manufacturer among audiophiles...

BTW, spidey, are these the AOEN?

I heard them connected to a CJ Pre-Power combo (tubed) and a Meridian CDP.

AMAZING.

I'm just curious why you're only using 2 channel....

Chances are it's a music only system. Martin Logans are really sweet. Nice choice for a two channel.


What are you driving them with?

yeah, its two channel only. Surround just doesn't give the "listening to a live band" sound.

They're driven by aragon 8008bb amps. Just need to play some more as even moving an inch totally changes the soundstage.

I'm not too worried about the right speaker being so close. electrostats are VERY directional and there isn't any interference from the side walls like there would be with point source distoration boxes (er...I mean cone/dome speakers)

Very true. the soundstage is completely missed if you slightly toe your head of off the sweet spot.
