Ideally the systems should be placed at least three feet from any walls. The
3'3'3'3'
height, at the top of the midrange, should be at ear level. The two speakers
3'3'3'
should be equidistant from your primary listening position; the distance
10 � 1510 � 15should be determined by the distance between the speakers. We recommend
that the angle between the speakers, at the listening position, be between
45! to 60!. For example, if the speakers are 8' apart, your listening position
should be 8'�12' from each speaker. To widen the area in which the best

stereo image will be perceived, turn the speaker to face the primary
listening position (Figure 5).

Ear level when
seated in listeningIt is normally recommended that the Century Gold loudspeakers be
position
positioned so that the high-frequency transducers are towards the inside.
In some listening environments, however, the imaging characteristics may
be improved by positioning the high-frequency transducers towards the
No.outside. We suggest you experiment with the positioning of your loud-
speakers to determine the ideal placement in your listening room.
