1. Your sitting position will be within ten feet (3
meters) from your loudspeakers
Your setup will be according to the equilateral principle.
To form an equilateral triangle, the angle between you
and your two speakers shall be 60 degrees. If you
cannot evaluate it, simply measure the distance from the
center of your speaker front baffle to your listening
position. Then, adjust the distance between your two
loudspeakers to the same value.
2. Your sitting position will be more than ten feet (3
meters) away from your loudspeakers
The width of your room divided by 3.6 will give you the
distance from the sidewall to the center of the front
baffle of your speakers.
We suggest that you start with the speakers aligned directly
at you. Then open them slowly until you get the best
soundstage without losing too much center-stage definition.
In most cases, the left speaker should be aligned toward your
left shoulder and the right speaker should be aligned toward
your right shoulder. Opening them will improve your image
width and closing them will improve your image center
definition. Conversely, if you wish to broaden your listening
area, tow them in even more until they are aligned with your
opposite shoulder.
Room Treatment
The LEONORE gives its best performance in an average-
furnished domestic listening room. It requires a minimum of
room treatment. Before investing in room treatment we
strongly recommend you to take the time to listen and get
familiar with your speakers. The LEONORE has proven to be a
standalone loudspeaker that rarely needs to be acoustically
corrected. A good room placement is usually the most
effective approach.
