Cdc's, Rive's & Zaike's points are well taken. I faced a similar situation at a friend's house, trying to place Avanti 3's. Our fortunate difference was the floor, where the wood lay directly on concrete. I.e. we had no real suspension, but instability, as the floor wasn't level -- let alone the side walls that are outward looking to the listening position.
To make a very long story short, we came up with a compromise:
1) Speaker support: factory supplied bronze (I think) spikes for speakers on THIN granite, granite on 4 Nordost Pulsar points, Pulsars directly on wooden floor (it was hell getting these level!). BTW, Jadem has been experimenting with equip support for years now, and knows his stuff. Can you alert him?
2) Placement: far apart (!) and toe-in at around 75 degrees. Alternatively, we tried them parallel and closer (@6 ft) -- but that meant going back further for an image, into the corridor (no cigar).
This ain't perfect, but it's reasonably acceptable in a grand orchestra with voices (Mahler 8 -- around 900 people orchestrating).
Don't know if this helps.
Question: can we all come up with an idea for placing Mara's speakers in free space? Then, some of us can suggest the right speaker support. Cheers!
