In my experience they are less sensitive to placement than most speakers. The sealed box means the bass starts dropping off slowly at a relatively high frequency. This is a blessing in most rooms because it reduces the huge bass peaks that most rooms will have. The small diameter midrange means dispersion is good, so off axis response is good. The overall balance doesn't change much in a reflective room.
ATC placement help
Any ATC folks care to share how far they have their speakers from the back wall (from the back of the speakers, I mean)? I can do up to about 16" with my incoming SCM 40 v2s so I was thinking I'd start from there, but if 12" or something works better for anyone... They're big and heavy and we're seniors so the less fiddling the better. The same goes for toe in. I'm familiar with the sealed box deal and all the info I could devour online.
I just mean generally, not specific to a certain type of room. (Which will render any answers less meaningful, I know).
Thanks.
