I’m looking for help. How do you DM947 owners have your speakers set up in your room? My room is 13 x 17 with sloped ceiling that runs the long way of the room. 8’ to 10’ with 2’ flat in middle.  This room opens up into a dining area and kitchen with 8’ ceiling. The kitchen/dining area extends another 15’ behind the listening area. The speakers are set up opposite end of room from kitchen, facing the kitchen.

I have the speakers on sliders so I can move them around easily to try to find the best placement.  The best place so far is 32” from front wall and 26” from side walls. They are toed in about 20 degrees or so.

I’ve just started with room treatment. I have a bass trap in each front corner from the floor halfway up. I’ll get panels to run all the way to the ceiling next. Also, I have a double window on the front wall that I have curtain on for absorption.

My listening position is about 8’ away from the speakers, and the speakers are 7’ apart. I have not been able to position them to my satisfaction yet.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Geno

Hi Ace.  1/4” to 1/2” toe in?  You mean they are almost facing straight ahead?  Thanks, Geno

How is the wall behind your speakers treated - corners, directly behind and between speakers?  First reflection points also?

Thanks for the detailed response Ace!  That will really help me as I continue adding treatment.

I have tweaked my speaker positioning, and I think I am close to where I need to be.

Hi Ace.  I'm just seeing your post.

The Monoliths are sounding really great. I moved them all over the place before i finally decided on the best spot. I am very happy now.

Room treatment will end up being a little further down the road.  I have been adding equipment upgrades.  Thanks to Jeff of A, I recently added a ZDSD, and, just today, bought a ZROCK2 from him.

I still have a few cables to upgrade - then will start back on the room treatments.

The speakers ended up 28" from the front wall, and 25" from the side walls.  Just over 7' center to center. Toe in is about 3".

My listening position is 9' away.  Just not able to try near-field in my listening room as it is my living room.  

I am looking forward to the improvements that better interconnect cables and room treatments will make. I am using Mapleshade double helix plus speaker cable, and love it.
