Speaker
positioning
Speakers are best heard sitting 2.5-4m/7-12' away from you, situated away from the rear wall and corners due to rear port (front
0.6-1.2m/2-4"away from rear and side walls, space permitting) and toed in pointing at your shoulders. This will improve imaging greatly and
reduce excessive bass.
Amplification and source
Any good CD or turntable, solid state (20W plus) or valve amplifiers (10W plus). Speaker will thrive on good healthy solid state power,
or do better on nice valve amps to produce a smoother sound. More neutral sounding equipment with less pronounced treble brightness and deeper bass is generally preferred.
