Hi all,
This past weekend we bought a pair of Martin Logan Motion 40s....when I put them in the "existing location" the shiny glossy sides reflected off of our 60" Samsung like a light beacon!
After reviewing speaker placement guidelines that might actually be a blessing in disguise. If you can see the photo below, the 'existing location' was directly right and left of the TV, spaced about 5 1/2 feet apart. Moving them to the sides actually made the sound a bit better, better L/C/R separation - wider so to speak - but as you can see in the photograph they can not stay in that position....so I will move them out further (left corner, right of the mantle).
That puts the speakers about 13ft apart, and each one is about 13ft to the center listening position (triangle). Distance from the center to the TV is about 9 feet. Do you think that is ok or too much?
Other choice is to get other speakers with a matte finish, and put them in the 'existing' location but then we lose some of that grand separation.
Thanks
