Merlin Speaker Placement


Where have you found the best placement for the VSM-M's? How close to the wall can they be placed and do you toe them in at all or keep them parallel to the back wall? The room dimensions are roughly 19 1/2 by 15 1/2. Thanks for any comments.

What they said. I have tried Bobby's recommended placement as well as the Cardas recommended placement (from the Cardas website). Both are similar and both worked well in my room. I think I stayed with the Cardas set-up. Mine are about 5' from the rear wall, 3-4' from the side walls, and 5' or so from each other. I listen from about 7' away and I do think the recommended toe-in amount sounds best in my place. The above set-up is what was recommended based on my room dimensions and listening area. Follow Merlin's directions or check out the Cardas site, and give those set ups a try in your room. It is true that they sound quite different in different placements, so some experimentation is needed. The recommended placements are a great place to begin. You can tweak it from there to suit your specific room and tastes.
Hey...foreverhifi...aren't you supposed to pay Audiogon a fee to advertise yourself on this site??? :-)
