cardas speaker positioning

I have my speakers positioned within a living space. Compromised, but acceptable. With a few quick room tweaks, not bad.

Been feeling the upgrade bug lately, so I moved my 7 year old boxes into the recommended
Cardas position and...wow! My system now sounds like all the money I dumped into it.
Now I’m imagining those NEW speakers in this position!

A reminder-you really do have to get the speakers to play to the room.

I DO hear all the ’phile adjectives, but man, it sure looks ridiculous.

Without a dedicated space, how the heck do you guys explain having speakers (3-4ft+) out in the room to the S.O.?

Just curious, as I don’t have to answer to a "higher authority"

The girlfriend rolls her eyes anytime she sees what’s going on in my place.

It only looks ridiculous to non audiophiles. Those cabinets are on the job.

As soon as I plop most guests into the sweet spot and play something familiar no explanation is necessary. For those who still don't get it I might go as far as to refer them to my audiologist.

There's a very simple cure for that eye rolling thing and its not the Moe Fine two finger eye poke.
