Help on soundstaging

Hello, I have acquired a a pair of Epos ELS-3 and have them on 24 inch stands filled with sand. I have them about a foot from the wall and they are six feet apart. I'm trying to lock them in and create a stage. The room is small(apartment) so placement is probably critical. I know these spkrs can sound better than they do at the moment. Any help is appreciated. Enjoy the music. (BTW I have them firing straight out.)

are they on the long wall (my suggestion), the diagonal (some have had great results doing this in problem rooms), or the short wall (where a lot of us begin...)?

I'd still go long wall, put drapes or cellular shades on the window (and a similar absorber on the opposite side and you're symmetric again!

When you toe in the speakers, a rule of them that I use for smaller rooms (nearfield type situations) is to start by pointing them so that they cross a little bit in front of the listening position. This gives pretty good focus & a broader sweetspot (more foregiving).

good luck
