Corner speaker placement


I`d like to hear from those that have used this configuration and what the acoustic result was. Soundstage, etc.

Thanks.

I use the corners I have for accentuating bass. I don't know about all this suck out business, and acoutical confabulation. As far as soundstage goes it isn't great. I use the set up for when I want to hear something on my Klipsch La Scalas loud. At that point subtleties are lost and you are being moved by the music. If your talking about a corner for a refined speaker I have found it doesn't provide anything close to optimal staging, imagery tonal integration what have you, and would avoid it.
Now that I know your thinking of Merlins. I would not put them in a corner. Bring them out away from the wall and experiment with positioning. You know the general rule is to space the speakers at the same distance you will be listenin from 8' apart put you chair 8' away. I have an L shaped listening space I use in my basement I put the speakers at the L and listen in the longer part of room but fairly close about 8'feet away . Toe in and find the right combination of distances for soundstage and best imergy, Merlins are fabulous, I'm sure you will enjoy them.
