Minkwelder makes some very good points, but you will not know if speaker placement needs to be adjusted until you try the new component. You also need to learn to trust your ears instead of someone else's idea of where your speakers sound best.
New preamp: need to change speaker placement?
I apologize for the cryptic title, not sure if Audiogon has a character limit. My question is, if I introduce a new component (in this case a preamp), would it affect the sound such that I would need to re-address speaker placement? I use the Master Set method for speaker placement, which primarily depends on bass resonance and tone and is a very exact placement method (down to fractions of an inch). I'm assuming (hoping, actually) that introducing a different preamp does not necessarily mean I need to re-address the speaker placement. Any users of the MS method I would be esp happy to hear from, as well as other informed insights/experiences.
Thanks
