try HP's rule of thirds, 1/3 of 22 1/2 is 7 1/2 and 1/3 of 16 1/2 is 5 1/2 so, place the speakers 7 1/2 out into the room and 5 1/2 feet apart (At least 5 feet out into the room is necessary IMO). I know this is radical but the results in my system resulted in the best bass and continuity. At least use this for a starting point. BTW toe them in slightly and experiment with toe in, usually aim them just outside of your ears works with Maggies. I have 1.6's myself.
Speaker Placement
OK, guys- I've spent several hours combing through theories, threads and treatises and am still at ground zero to determine initial speaker placement. Got a a pair of Maggie 12's with a powered sub going into a 16 1/2 by 22 1/2 room. The ceiling is coffered from 8 feet at the walls to 10 feet. (slope is 6 in 12) Floor is carpeted, walls and ceiling are sheetrock.
So far, I've heard it all- close to the wall, far from the wall, close to the side walls, further from the side walls, sit closer, sit farther etc, etc, etc.
Any planar placement formulas/experience out there that will get me started?
Thanks
Jim
