Kef IQ5 Positioning

[tosh]

Hi, my Kefs sound very bassy and i was wondering if it was because they are too close to the rear wall.I thought these speakers were ok close up to a wall. Anyone know otherwise?

How close is close? And do you have them toed-in or facing straight towards you?

Hi Clare,they are about four inches off the wall facing straight. Does toeing in reduce bass?

 

[Clare Newsome]

Yes, they're more flexible than a lot of floorstanders re positioning, but even so, that's a tad too close - try moving them slightly forward until the bass becomes more manageable and toeing them in a touch (not to do with bass, but creates better stereo imaging). Even an inch or so could make a difference...

Thank's Clare, i'll experiment tomorrow.
