I'm not sure what those points have to do with placement, they are all still true if the sub is in a corner or not. What placement do you recommend for a sub in a smaller room were there might not be much room anywhere but behind the mains, and how far into the room are you thinking? The manuals I've read also say to, generally, keep your subs behind the mains (as far as forward placement) and not in-front.

I use this guide from Thiel's placement section in the manual. Does correlate with my experience.

Although the center placement may be fantastic if you get subs 1 at a time and rearrange setup upon getting the second.
Since i haven't bought a rack yet, would there be any negative effects if you placed amps etc on both sides of a centrally located sub? |

As far as two subs cancelling each other out, I find two subs MUCH easier to tame room interactions than one sub. I do not count stacked subs as being "two subs" for interaction purposes because the room sees them as one when they are co-located. I just went through this here: http://www.audioaficionado.org/subwo...s-project.html |

I think some experts do not recommend putting the racks in front as it has an effect on soundstaging.
If you have a rack that can provide good isolation from vibration, it might be OK to put the rack on the side of a centrally located subwoofer. |

Someone also recently said that ideally, not to have anything between the speakers including amp's etc. What is realistic is another story. Cant remember where that was though.

My understanding: Subwoofer placement is guided by room nodes and where you can get the best measured flat bass response without stuck out. Measuring freq response is critical to determine best placement.
The advantage of the F212 is the higher driver is in a different location relative to the room node relating to ceiling height. Dr Floyd Toole has an excellent book about this. Last edited by lostinla; 11-14-2012 at 04:41 PM. |
