Setting Up 2-Channel Positioning When arranging a 2-channel system, the listening position and the loudspeakers should form an equilateral triangle.

Focus and staging will improve as well. In all, this is a very effective and desirable improvement and is highly recommended by Monitor Audio. Port bungs WARNING: Care must be taken not to insert the port bungs too far into the port, as this may result in the foam bung being lost inside the cabinet. -
