Monitor Positioning

[MaxB]

What if I put the monitors like this (see picture)? It seems to have a really good stereo image... Ehm please avoid any comment about Beethoven deafness, if you can

I mean like the previous pic instead of this (triangle):

Normally, you form an equilateral triangle between your ears and the monitors in front....... ie - the monitors are the same distance apart, as they are from your ears.

I have yet to hear a setup that gives you better imaging than that configuration...

what about monitor stands? I'm trying to get the monitors up to the level of my ears but on my desk the top of the speakers doesnt come to the top of my shoulders? I'm currently using the jack stands for my car but having the monitors on them is a balancing act

d'rumble,

Anything solid and stable will work for speaker stands. Concrete blocks are always a good inexpensive choice.

damn i guess my empty boxes of gain detergent arent a very wise choice.....

lol concrete blocks...that would work...just wrap them in some kind of cloth so as not to scratch up the monitors if i plan to sell them one day

Or you could paint them with some "Bikini Blue" rubber paint! http://www.spspools-spas.com/pool_catalog/pool_paint.html

ya know....i think about painting a cynderblock with rubber paint and all that comes to mind is chucking it at a neighbors car and it bouncing off and hitting the cat
