The minimum distance to the sidewall for SBL

Posted by: Martin C on 22 January 2002

Hi there,

I need some advice for moving my SBL, as I am going to get a 36" widescreen TV, I have to move the SBL further apart to keep around 12inches each side to the TV, also 12inches away from the sidewall is that enough for SBL? I know, it's not ideal, but that's the only option at the moment until I move later this year.

All advices welcomed.

cheers
Martin

I'd try it closer to the sidewall to improve dispersion towards the central listening position. i.e. place the SBLs 18 inches from the telly and 6 inches fromt he sidewall. SBLs suffer less than most with sidewalls generally.

Regards,
Frank.
