upper bass quality. You must find the proper balance of these two factors, but
remember, if you are partial to bass response or air and bloom, do not overcom-
pensate your adjustments to maximize these effects. Overcompensated systems are
sometimes pleasing in the short-term, but long-term satisfaction is always achieved
through proper balance.

In summary, for optimal tonal balance accuracy, resolution of low level
detail, and soundstaging performance, the Sophia should be positioned as outlined
in this section. Ideally, the speakers should not be positioned too far from the lis-
tener if maximum resolution of low-level detail is required. If possible, the speak-
ers should be positioned out into the room, slightly asymmetrically vis a vis the
side and rear walls. The speakers should be "toed in" toward the listener, prefer-
ably so that the listener, at his seated position, can barely see the surface of the
inner side of the Sophia as he/she faces the speaker. It is recommended that a dis-
tance of two to three feet, and possibly more, be maintained between the Sophia
and the rear walls and that a distance of at least two feet be maintained between
the outer side panel of the Sophia and reflective side walls. Depending on the
room, judicious use of sound absorbent materials will reduce the space require-
ment.
By following the guidelines in this manual, your new Sophia loudspeakers
can provide you with a lifetime of pure music reproduction.
