Conversely, moving the speakers closer to the walls will increase the level of bass. If you want to reduce the bass level without moving the speakers further from the wall, fit the foam bungs in the port tubes. (Figure 6) If the central image is poor, try moving the speakers closer together or toeing them in so they point just in front of the listeners.

Initially, screw the lock nuts fully onto the spikes and screw the spikes fully into the threaded inserts in the base of the cabinet. If the cabinet rocks, unscrew the two spikes that do not touch the floor equally until the cabinet sits firmly on the floor, and lock the nuts against the cabinet. If there is no carpet and you wish to avoid scratching the floor surface, use a protective disc between the spike and the floor. (Figure 4) Some experimentation with the position of the speakers is well worthwhile to optimise the interaction between them and the listening room. however , as an initial guide: · Do not fit the spike feet until you have found the best position for the speakers. Having the speakers too close to walls increases the level of bass relative to midrange and may give a boomy quality to the sound.
