Right now I have Polk RM85 as front speakers. How much distance should there be between the 2 I have about 4 feet separation now,(50 in Plasma in the center). Any sugestions?

    I have my 2 RTiA3's resting on either side of a 15 foot mantel; which probably means I have about 13 feet in between the two. I don't have any problems so if you're thinking about increasing the distance I don't think that would be a problem.

    I also have a 50" plasma but with Monitor70's as fronts. They are spaced out 36" to either side of the plasma sound really good.
