Hi there,
I'm currently setting up my little sound design suite and I have my TR8-N's spaced 48" apart
[Center of monitor, to the other monitors center]
Each speaker is about 40-44"away from my listening position with is approximately 45% to the center of the room.
The monitors are both perfectly centered to my ear height and are angled about 30 or 60 depending which way you look at it...
[I used cinder blocks to raise them off my desk and to have some mass between them and the desk, also between the monitors and cinder blocks are 2 thick mouse pads.]
Ghetto engineering at its finest ladies and gentlemen.
Does this sound good for monitor placement? Comments/Suggestions?
I could draw a diagram for reference if anyone would like to see.
Next stop acoustical treatment/broadband absorption...

That they do, its actually a textured dry wall.
I'm going to probably go the 705 frk route, plus some Fiberglass rolls stacked for bass traps in the back of the room.

my experienc etells me that the distance between the monitors should be about 2/3 of the distance to your listening position...
making it any wider will make everything you do sound wider than it really is....
and then align the monitors so that the "crossing point" of the sound is a couple of inches in front of you... this gives the best perception of depth...
