Placement: Speakers should be placed equidistance from side wall, if possible, with at least 5 feet between them and ideally 24 inches or more from wall. Stands od 16 inches are recommended although floor placement tilted back creates deeper bass. Speaker should toe in approximately 15 degrees or having the main drivers placed just outside your ears.

Room Size: The ideal room should be rectangular or square with equal distribution of furniture. Of course, most rooms do not fall into this category so some balance adjustments or wall treatments may be needed. Speakers should be placed at least 2 feet from the back wall to minimize wall reflections and to present a deep soundstage.

Too little tilt back can do the same. Ideally tilt should be adjusted using wooden blocks under the speaker front or by purchasing out Shinjitsu Audio Plinth. Tilt should be from 10 degrees to 15 degrees. This tilt will affect the polar response of the speaker as shown below:...

Speaker Height: These speakers are designed to be floor standers. They must be placed on the floor to produce adequate bass reinforcement. Sever loss of bass will occur if they are placed onto speaker stands. Stereo imaging can be adjusted by using tilt back and back wall placement.

Crossover: This speaker utilizes a third order crossover for the bass and first order for the horn. There is but two coils and one capacitor on the main driver and one capacitor at 2000 Hz on the high frequency driver to attenuate the bass frequencies. They are both high quality components. If you desire the capacitor is easily accessible via the back plate.

Attenuation Resistor: The speaker is supplied with a high frequency attenuation resistor accessible via the top-plate terminals. It is available for you to set the high frequency balance to suit your tastes and room. Lower values of resistor decrease the high frequencies and higher values of resistors increase the high frequencies.

Horn placement: The horn assembly should be placed securely on top of the cabinet with the mouth of the horn facing forward. The lip of the horn should be located to line up with the font of the cabinet. Moving the horn forward and back on the cabinet top will subtly change the high and midrange frequency response.
