How to Optimally Position Your Speakers

Speaker positioning is all important when you are setting up a home theatre system.
So you have gone out and spent a lot of money on a new swanky set of speakers.
Now, you want to set them up in such a way that you get optimal sound performance.
This piece will talk about certain tips and tricks that will help you get the most out of your speakers and home theatre investments.
Now we all know that there are certain pieces of furniture that absorb sound and other objects in your room that might reflect it.
It is important to keep in mind these aspects of a room before deciding on where to place your speakers.
One of the easiest rules of thumb is to remember the concept of the front wall.
The front wall is actually the wall closest to the back of your speakers.
  The first thing to consider is to not place your speakers too close to the front wall.
This is to avoid a distorted bass response.
  Another rule to keep in mind is the 1.
6 rule.
This rule states that the distance of the side walls should be 1.
6 times the distance of the front wall to the back of the speakers.
Remember that the front wall is the wall behind your speakers and the side wall is, well, to the side of your speakers.
So, if the distance of the front wall is 4 feet away from the back of your speakers then the distance of the side wall should be 6.
4 feet away from the side of your speakers.
Another important aspect to remember is simply the positioning of the listener.
That means you.
There should be a spot in your room where you would spend most of your time.
The positioning of your speakers should always be in relation to this spot.
So, find your sitting position and angle your speakers to point directly towards it.
Another rule of thumb to finding the perfect sweet spot for your speakers is to place them so that the distance between the speakers and the front wall is between 1/3 and 1/5 of the length of the room.
Simply move the speakers between these zones and get a friend to sit in the sitting position and try to find the perfect spot for the speakers.
Remember, you want to spend a good amount of time getting your speaker position just right.
Try to get a friend to help out if necessary.
