Speaker placement

When using two speakers, the best way to position the speakers is so that the primary listening position and both speakers form an equilateral triangle, or so that the distance between the speakers is slightly shorter than the distance from the listening position to the speakers. This creates a stereo image, which means that the sound seems to come from the middle of the speakers rather than from the speakers themselves. For example, a soloist will seem to be standing in the middle of the speakers. It is generally not a good idea to place a speaker in the very corner of the room, because then the first reflection from the speaker in the corner will come from the adjacent wall, which will cause the sound to be unclear.
