Stereo Positioning For optimizing the stereo listening position, place the two speakers so that they form an equilateral triangle with your listening position. Your listening position should be on an imaginary center point between the two speakers. Adjust the distance of the speakers and the distance of our listening position accordingly to find the best position.
