revel Salon 2 seating distance

THe Salon 2s are much taller speakers than the Original Salons I believe. I am aware that the tweeter is quite good off axis, but there should be a limit on the angle below tweeter axis which would be optimal. Hence my question. Also in my current room stage depth is less than I would like I think because they are to close to the front wall, which is why I was curious about where people have them positioned. If in thenew room I have them 5 feet out from the wall instead of 2 or 3, and I sit back 10 or 12 feet instead of 8 or 9, clearly I will end up being too far back from a 60inch display, so despite how wonderful it is , I may have to go in a different direction.

P59teitel, thanks for listing the results of your tests. I am surprised that you found the tweeter response to be OK in nearfield listening. By the way, interesting choice of music for your tests, it took me a long time time work my way through the Europe 72 box, listening to all the shows in date order. But definitely the music release of the year (if not the decade!)

I tend to slump down in my listening chair while relaxing to music or watching a movie. I think one thing I want to is find is a listening chair with a taller seat height. But definitely not the Eames chair they featured on the some website recently as the ultimate listenig chair!

As far as the width is concerned, I think with 3 front speakers the right and left are usually at an angle of 60 degrees in an ITU configuration, so Iyou are talking about an isoceles triangle rather than the Jim Smith configuration (which I am assuming is based on 2-channel).

Thanks for everybody's help, looks like I will have some interesting times when I get into my new listening room!
