redwoodzz Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Thought you all would get a kick out of the placement of these 1B's. This is one of two pairs hanging at my local record shop in Santa Cruz. They should pretty good up there and fill the space well. Cheers, Joey 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratocaster Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Wow!!! Just when you think you have seen all kinds of placement options for these speakers... I can't even imagine how this feat must have been accomplished.. @Richard Vandersteen I guess you need to update the manuals to suggest what the level of tilt should be if someone chose to do this 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmz Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 That Ballet studio in Santa Monica had a similar setup for years. Saves some arguments on which isolators are best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And because i can’t resist, you put the tweeter towards the floor right ? Yeah at ear level. Luckily the manual for Australia upside down, so it is easier than the IKEA ones.

ghamilton Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Still playing with placement. Inch by inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratocaster Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 @ghamilton In my experience, if the speakers are behind the equipment rack then it is more frustrating to get things right. In all my setups in the rooms that I have placed my speakers in, they have sounded the best with nothing between them or with the speakers pulled farther out than the stuff that's located in between the speakers. Also, an inch of movement at a time is too much. I have found 1/8th of an inch to change the sound (depending on the room) and finding the right balance between 1/8 -3/8th of an inch. If you keep moving an inch then you might lose that window of opportunity (unless you discover it by accident while moving things again). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
