Mrjstark, That's my thought exactly. I think I may be just looking for feedback, so I can put the idea to rest. Nice looking room, looks as if you are getting the most out of it. What are the dimensions, and what type of room treatments are you using. It is't broken for sure, so nothing to fix. Just trying to get the most out of my system. I do remember two previous speakers with smaller footprints that seemed to open up a bit more in my room. Hey, perhaps the Quattro would have been a better choice in a 12 + foot wide room. Thanks.
Vandersteen 5A room placment options
I have had my 5A's in my 23 X 12 dedicated bowling alley for nearly three years now. I have settled down with the VAC Phi 300.1 stereo amp, which is IMO and in my room, the best I have heard them. OK! I have been shifting my rack around and reconfiguring things, so my rack w/ Turntable
has it's new home against the back wall rear of the left speaker. The rack will not be between speakers, as you can only see a foot or so of the RIX RAX's wide top shelf peaking out to the inside of the left speaker. The speakers are 93" out, or 1/3, of the 279" length of the room. Is it a bit far fetched to think I could move the speakers to the long wall, which I have never tried. I can't really conceive this working with the front plane of the speaker 3 feet out, and only having 8.5 or 9 feet remaining. Especially with the 5A's time aligned design, I can't see them working on the long wall, in a near field setup.
