Hello.
I recently finished acquiring a full set 2.1 system - I did this after a few showroom listening sessions and reading some opinion pieces about options for full range sound.
My System is comprised of a Yamaha 803D stereo receiver (with the ability to set variable frequency cuts for speakers and subwoofer - it has an automatic room correction calibration programme using a provided mic - it automatically set the low cut at 80hz), Yamaha B750 Bookshelves (60hz-50khz) and Yamaha SW700 Bottom Firing Sub (20hz-120hz).
I've got some degree of flexibility however I really don't know how is the proper way to arrange my setup considering I'm interested in music-performance first (I do watch movies and play video games occasionally - the system is hooked up via optical to my tv).
I have my speakers on 60cm Triangle Stands - the subwoofer is bottom firing (with a special 4 way fanned base to spread the soundwaves around - the bass doesn't hit the floor - maybe google SW700 to see how it's constructed), and they have to be arranged on both sides of my tv. While I've got a good idea about speaker placement, since it's generally easy - on both sides of the tv, about 1.6 meters appart and slightly toed-in, i have NO idea what's the best position of the bottom-firing sub in this equation.
Should it be on the inside of the speakers, outside, angled or parallel to the wall, etc?
I'd really appreciate some input from people who actually have experience with 2.1 systems and specifically bottom firing subwoofer placement for music-performance.
