I know that because of your new mid bass horn, the speaker position is mostly fixed. So you move chair. I am wondering -- to those of us who can move both chair and speaker, how do you go about getting system to play the room? Do you place speaker where you think it may be best and then move chair around? Or do you sit where you want and then move speaker?

Actually in my case the speakers position is not fixed. The mid bass horn is fine and this is the only one element that can’t be moved. The Macondo islands and the chair are perfectly can move.

There are however some constrains. For instance I would like to keep Macondo islands as far as possible from back wall. I would like to have the Macondo islands to be spread as wide as possible but without deformation of center image. I would like the chair to be equidistant between crossover altered midbass and the rest MF channels. There are many other constrains and wishes. Sure putting up room treatment and by other means the critical listening position might be adjusted and it will be adjusted but the main skeleton will be pretty much remain.

For those who both chair and speaker I would advise to find one stationary objects. For me in most of the case it is the back wall of the speaker when I know how far my speaker needs to be from there. This would give to you the base line for the speaker. Everything comes from there. You know your base line, you know your spread of the R/L channels, so you know more or less your listening distance. In many way it is back and forth ceremony….
