Speaker placement advise

Hi,

I've recently purchased the Buchardt A500 and placed them as shown in the 2/3d illustrations (to the left and right of the TV screen). The sound was rarely good enough, suspecting all sorts of returning/stading frequencies, etc., and I would like to understand what can I do to improve it. Can you advise what I can do (reasonable changes) to improve the sound, add reflective foam, or any other suggestions?

Also, me and my partner usually sit in a different positions on the couch (where the red parts are). What will be the best angle to place the speakers so both of us will enjoy as much as possible from the best sound experience?

Thanks in advance!

1) Beautiful speakers, I am jealous

2) did you buy it with the stands?

3) I think with the tight space, you will need to raise them higher (on a stand) and move them forward and closer to each other, under 1.8m. That's where I would start, then I would move them back towards the wall, further apart, see where it works, find a track with know imaging and expect that in front of the TV. 

4) I have similar monitors and they sound best, on the floor, but I have nothing for 2 meters before the furniture. I wonder if that would work for you, I suspect the opposite, but worth a try

That’s roughly a 10x12 listening area correct? Tight space but it can work to your benefit. if your willing to work with speaker placement then check this out…

My speakers sound great as a 2.0 .

I would suggest pulling them out, away from the wall, and seeing if music can sound good. If you were able to find a good spot, then they might be able to be shift ed out of the way or then work some other ideas.

Probably not toed in to start.
I would have partner sit n the couch, with a CD o playing, and move them around until you get a thumbs up. Don’t worry about low frequencies, or TV, yet. (IMO).
