  • Page 18: Speaker Positioning

    SPEAKER POSITIONING Identifying the ideal sound/acoustic room to play an audio system well is not that strictly related to the proportional dimensions of the rooms as many audiophiles believe. The sound played through an audio system is just “Energy diffused in a closed environment” that is all absorbed, reflected and dispersed. The loudspeaker position is the most important aspect because managing the reflections is a key factor to get the best sound.
  • Page 19 Though the best position of audio racks usually is not in the middle of the speakers, some special racks such like the Gold Note Galileo can beπlaced there because its special all curved shape helps diffracting the sound waves very well. If you are using standard racks placed in the middle of the speakers, it is preferable to have rather small ones which enhance a better sound focus.
