    wondering about my sub placement

    Sorry i couldn't paste the pic so i attached it. Just curious on opinions on if i should move my subs inside of my mains. Everyone seems to have their subs placed inside of their mains. Just look at the pic and let me know if you'd leave it as is or flip them around

    Re: wondering about my sub placement

    There are at least two articles from the Journal of the Audio Engineering Society (JAES) that discuss where to put low-frequency speakers (e.g., one of the authors was Paul Klipsch).  The consensus of these articles:  put them in the corners--you will get smoother response and lower distortion because you are coupling to the room's modes.  You may have to back off a little on the drive levels (which is the reason for the lower distortion), but you will get extended low end response because of the corner effect.

    They're probably fine where they are, but I would move your RF towers farther apart, as far as they can go.  That will open up the front soundstage a lot.
