should fire from the end of the leg (short wall) toward the L, or they should be along the
longest wall. In this way, both speakers are firing the same distance to the back wall. The
asymmetry of the walls in L-shaped rooms resists the buildup of standing waves (see Figure

Speaker Placement Versus Listening Position
The location of your listening position is as important as the careful setup of your
Wilson Audio loudspeakers. The listening position should ideally be no more than 1.1 to
1.25 times the distance between the tweeters on each speaker. Therefore, in a long, rect-
angular room of 12’ x 18’, if the speaker tweeters are going to be 9’ apart, you should be
sitting 9’11’’ to 11’3’’ from the speaker. This would be more than halfway down the long
axis of the room.
Many people place the speakers on one end and sit at the other end of the room.
This approach will not yield the finest sound. Carefully consider your listening position.
Our experience has shown that any listening position that places your head closer than 14”
