I have a pair of RTI A7s paired with an NAD 356DAC amp. I am really enjoying this pairing but was curious about speaker placement. What is the optimal distance from the wall and distance from each speaker for two channel music listening? The room I have my speakers in is roughly 10x15.
Any other tips you could provide in order to get the most out of my setup?

Thanks in advance.

    The basic advice is don't put them to close to any wall and experiment. There is no set value for placement as every room is different. You need to move them around a little and play with toe-in to see what sounds best to you in your room.
    AVR: Elite VSX-21TXH
    Amplifier: B&K 7250 Series ii
    Misc: Velodyne SMS-1
    Mains: RTi-10
    Center: CSi-5
    Rear: Boston DSi460
    Sub: SVS PC-Ultra
    TV: Panasonic TC-P58V10
    DVD: Panasonic DMP-BD60K

    My A7s are not that sensitive to location, as long as you shove them right next to the wall. They have this baffle behind the ports, may be that helps. As long as I have a foot to the wall, they sound clean. I can't tell difference between 1 foot or two feet from the wall, but if you put them very close i notice some gain and distortion..

    I appreciate the replies. I guess I will just play around with them and go from there.
