Hello Everyone,

I have a question on what would be the best way to setup my SDA 2b speakers. I have two pair front and back that I have hooked up with a B&K reference 20 preamp and a some adcom 5300 amps. I also have a PSW1200 subwoofer. I have been playing with setting the speakers between small and large in the preamps setup. I am undecided which way I like things, and would be interested in hearing some suggestions from people.

Looking forward to hearing some feedback,

Gary

    I am using it as both my Home Theater and 2 channel Stereo. When I want to listen to music I either select the Stereo mode which is the from two speakers, or I can select Stereo Front/Rear which sends the signal to the Front and Rears.

    i believe about 5 inches from the back wall and about 3 feet from the outside walls is standard. i have mine about 2 feet from the outside wall and they still sound fine.
    as atcvenom said, definitly a huge no on the toe in, figured that out myself as well.
