Question How well positioned are your loudspeakers?

[Clarkey_71]

Like most people here, hifi for me these days is a compromise and it generally comes a poor second to other living room activities. It's just our family circumstances at this time. We don't want our teenagers locked away on their phones in their rooms, so the living room is generally used for gaming or TV. I would say my amps and speakers get more use watching films etc than they ever do for music. I think the last time I listened to an album was August. It will come around again though. Regarding speaker placement, I try to adhere to the triangle principle but in reality I don't really have the depth to let the speakers breathe as much as they should.

Well that makes sense......
Though not sure what wombats have to do with anything

the song" let´s dance to Joy Division" is Wombats only song i know and makes sense, if you haven´t heard it ,listen to it , found it funny. Joy Division was heard a lot in the 80´s as a alterrnative band that after the vocalist ended he´s life become New Order, some people i know didn´t knew this

today most of the young families do that or a lot similar in their living rooms

Excuse the blurred image, either phone cam is kak or I can't keep still

WoW - Nice and clean Doug. If Filofax (remember them!) made HiFi that would be it

My speakers in the bedroom are compromised, being a short distance apart. I suspect if the massive IKEA ward rope wasn't there (out of the picture) I would have the speakers mounted on proper floor stands.

It's hard for most people to get their speakers into the perfect position because they have limited space and don't have a dedicated "listening room".

The little speakers in the dining room has restricted positioning, the two cats don't seem to mind

Maine Coone or NFCs?

Maine Coone or NFCs?

Coons I would say....

Maine Coone or NFCs?

Well observed Juzzie. They look similar to Norwegian, mine are two Maine Coones, Flynn (Red) and Zoyah (Mackeral, Tabby, Grey). Weighing 11 and 10 kilos, they scare the neighbours dog.

Any sensible dog would give a Maine Coone a wide berth.....
Interestingly enough WHF will not let me use the term without adding the E.....,
What's the world coming to?

The dog is a terrier of some sort, and not seen a cat that's bigger than him!
