My OCD doesn’t like the uneven distances, but the sound is much fuller with separation. I tried putting them next to the fireplace and it lacked depth for a large room. Luckily you can adjust speaker differences and output levels to even out things out.

I’ve got rear speakers in the ceiling as well, so that helps, too.

Mine are uneven too but the B&O set up compensates for this when you allow the speaker distances

If you feel that the speakers are louder than the other, then you can change the dB accordingly.

There is more to it....

I admit, I skimmed the article, but it seemed to be more about correcting the delay of the further speaker in order to achieve the desired phantom central image. However, that doesn't really also address the need for the further speaker to be somewhat louder based on level calibration.

On that thought, my L and R speakers are facing directly forward (looks more aesthetic to me), but should I really be pointing them at the central listening position? I notice people do both ways in the pictures posted. 

Anyway, that's the last of my thought, since this might be a topic for a different thread. 

Let's get back to more pics!

I like to toe my speakers in it is purely a personal thing.

The acoustic lens is meant to obviate the need to do this.

Although I imagine if you have a very acute angle on the left speaker it would be useful to do a toe in.

A while yet for your extension then. Meanwhile, stack the wood for the brændeovn neatly underneath the Eclipse in some kind of sleek, low wood store case/cupboard, then you can move the protective metal rail for the wood burner further to the right, then slide the eclipse slightly to the right and voila’ - space for wall mounted 18s on either side :-)

Aaaarh you..... 😁

I went with the Avant NG 75...

Looks great Beotex, very stylish! Even though i never understood the whole tv-over-fireplace-thing, don’t you hurt your neck?

But that leads me to a more serious question; what kind of “oven” is that? I’ve never seen those “balls?” before.

Best regards

Thanks - the placement was really out of necessity, and with our seating it actually works pretty well. It’s a little higher up than I would like, but it’s nice when I’m in the kitchen and can see it :)

The fireplace is an Isokern 72” with fireballs - they are ceramic “cannonballs” that flames come up through. Here’s a link to the site:

In other news, I think I figured out the NL/ML converter and have sound distributed to our Beovision 7 in the bedroom!

Another “... in the wild”

I was early for an appointment so I did some browsing

Admiring art work ... subconsciously aware of music

Then I focused on the music

Sounds great

Where was it coming from ?

What speakers ?

Looked at the ceiling and then cornices - - nope

OK must be book shelves - - - nope

Where are those speakers ?!?!?

Then by accident out the corner of my eye

Voila - amazing !

Mystery solved !

Ah yes - the B&O mirror - I used to have one of these - they gave excellent reflected sound.

Additionally I noticed a picture of a P30 (45?) has been stuck on said mirror - Quelle coïncidence!  ;-)

No I mean the A6 on the floor !

I’ll have to return (as planned) to see what was being reflected from the other wall !
