WOW that looks really cool!

Yes thats more help, gives me an idea about height and width distancing.

On the whole our dining/ music rooms less for critical listening, so i think i’ll dispense with having tweeters at ear height etc. I have to consider what the main systems sitting on, please see my pic of the dining room wall to be used.

thanks for your help

Hi,

thanks for the welcome, and no they are not going to be used with a tv.

we have the 5500 system currently running in the ‘music’ dining room, and currently using my partners rather nice Ruark bookshelf speakers. But for cleanliness of lines and clutter freeness i intend to put up the beovox’s soon.

I agree if they were mounted in ear level they would look odd (though when i tested them on the floor firing up they sounded incredible!). so your advice about treating them as pictures/ works of art seems to be along the lines i was thinking too.

So i kind of have the height bit in hand but how about how far apart / in from the side walls would you recommend? I have 3.10m to play with. The right hand speaker will have a part wall to deal with, about 3 feet into the room then it opens out to the kitchen entrance. The left hand speaker will basically be next to a doorway, so also mounting it too low might result in leaving chunks of my forehead on the pressed steel edges! lol.

Also one last thing, they seem to be orientable ie that one side under the steel houses the crossovers (i think) and the other side the speakers, which side would the steel housing be best placed? I am thinking along the lines of perhaps making the speakers on the outer edge thus giving the most stereo spread available.

I have attached a wide angle pic to try help explain it….

thanks for your help, i have other questions and problems with my cd player and queries about the amp running hot but ill have to leave those ‘essays’ for another day haha.

best regards
