Now my theater 4's are facing into corners as a crude test. 5-6 inches from baffle to wall seems good. I just wanted to see if I liked it. Considering HF faces backwards, it sounds great. 1 small problem. The corners that would work best from the loading perspective are almost 20' apart(people from 10-15 feet away from that wall). Sound distribution is very even, and while entertaining I am not sure the great distance between speakers would be such a negative. I wonder how far apart is too far. This is a different kind of speaker and I have had a lot of so called "no no's" turn out ok. Thought I should ask questions instead of moving my rack or making 25' long speaker cables just to test it.My only other option is with 11' between, (current position) but the HF horns will be aimed pretty far away from where anyone would ever be. In this case could I build asymetric 7 Pi's? They could face more into the room by an additional 10 or 15 degrees. would this mess up the lower midrange distribution from the rear?
Experiences, or thoughts anyone? Bear in mind my Theater 4's would be in an even better setup in another room for private listening.
