I would disagree with that I have mine quite close (about 2m away) and also only barely behind my listening postition so I have them facing each other, rather than facing the fronts. I think facing the fronts is better in a setup like yours where they are much further behind you.

In setting the relative volume levels an SPL meter is really useful. I had done mine 'by ear' but when I then re did them with an SPL meter the rears were completely wrong

Mine are completely wrong too, because I set them up for DPLII by ear, and I know they are higher then the fronts...

Your case is a bit different from most people that have them close because they sit against the back wall, and thats why I sujested pointing them forward, but the main poinrt is not to point them to our ears when they are close...

 

Hi Mike

Understood your advice - thx again Minstrels are more convenient and because you didn't say NO then I took that as a YES

I'm perfectly willing to compromise the HT system as it's in the lounge and I've taken over another room in the house for a music room.

I will try to move them away from the sitting position though.
