General Guidelines for Placing Your Classico CL-3s
Note: The following positioning instructions are meant to be only a guideline for
your CL-3 placement. Once your Classico CL-3s are properly broken in, they should
perform to your satisfaction. If not, however, please refer to these simple placement
guidelines for some helpful tips. No matter which placement option you choose,
please keep the Classico CL-3 at least four inches from the wall or surface behind it.
Placement: Your Classico CL-3s should be placed on the floor, sitting on the isolating gel
pads provided. Ensure that the speakers and associated wiring are located and placed in a
manner that maximizes stability and safety. Even if you're placing the Classico CL-3 on a
carpet, we recommend using the gel pads (one under each corner) to further isolate the
speakers from the floor.
Sonics: If achieving maximum bass and sonic warmth is your goal, place your Classico
CL-3s close to a wall or other large surface (no more than a foot or two away). Note that
positioning them further out from the walls may deliver better imaging and a somewhat
leaner response in most rooms. Positioning your speakers at different distances from the
side wall in relation to the wall behind them should help control acoustic anomalies.
In any case, as noted above, please keep them a minimum of four inches from the wall
behind them.
If the setting lends itself, try positioning the left and right front speakers at the opposite
ends of the base of an equilateral triangle whose tip is at the prime listening position
(Figure 2). General guidelines suggest a 30- to 45-degree angle from the prime listening
position to the left and right front speakers, which is particularly for good stereo
reproduction.
Home theater positioning can mimic the above recommendations. However, try to keep
the left and right front speakers within two or three feet of the edge of the TV screen.
