have you got room to move those speakers further apart mate?

It’s a bit restricted Ben, but there are is a little bit of room

[Marco]

How far are they apart, Robin (measure it)? They do look rather close together (and also too close to the equipment itself), certainly in order to perform optimally.

Is the other end of the room any wider? If so, it will almost certainly sound better employing the use of longer speaker cables, and putting your speakers there, if in the end you can get them further apart. What is it, an attic room?:)

aye, if you can get the triangle it will help with imaging

Marco, yes it’s an attic room, and that is really the only place will try and move them further apart I have moved slightly and they are 1 metre apart might be able to push that to 1.5.

Working on it Grant

[struth]

if your not too much more than 1.5m away then you can try toe ing them out a fraction as well.. not much tho 5o

Mmm... That's not ideal, mate. You could be doing with double that distance. However, as long as it sounds fine to you, and you can enjoy music on your system, that's all that matters:)

Got to make the best a the space I have Marco, not ideal but beginning to sound good not perfect but will never be in the space, I am usually listening at my desk about 6 feet away

I used to work at bench with Quad ELSs about 4 feet from my ears. Were just like giant headphones!

Not quite that close but similar

I'd be looking for some absorbent panels on the ceiling above and in front of them too, looks like there might be reflections bouncing about all over to me.

Nice setup, Robin - and I bet it's good to have your own space for the music.

Not sure what model those ARTs are, but I have heard some similar which sound very good indeed.
- and the speaker drive units are nice and close together so near-field listening should work well.
The stereo thing is all about angle subtended, so if you sit close then no problem. I've seen quite a few systems, even in large rooms, with a similar set of angles.
Might be nice to get the full 1.5m, though. :)

Interesting shaped space as well, you won't get the usual rectangular room resonances and room nodes cropping up.
Does it seem to work well?

What sort of music do you listen to there?

[rmcin626]

Thanks Jerry, it’s nice to have the space even if it’s a loft, I listen to a wide range of music, if it’s good and has soul I will listen to it.
Soul, some Country, singer songwriter, Americana, Jazz funk not really into pop or classical, plus some rock.

The speakers are great and really pleased with them, they are based on the ART Stiletto 6 with some of the wiring from the Dram range.
