How far apart should my speakers be? (1 Viewer)

[Rich Burns]

My mains are NHT SuperOnes on stands.
My viewing/listening position is 12' from TV.
I have a book with advice on this somewhere but I can't seem to find it right now.
Thanks

As far apart as you are from an imaginary line drawn through both speakers, unless this puts them within a few feet of the walls (in which case you may want to move them closer) or the distance between a speaker and boundary (wall or the centerline between them) would equal the distance to another boundary.

In my previous life (when I was seriously into high fidelity stereo systems) I used to subscribe to The Absolute Sound (from whence the magazine The Perfect Vision is related) and Harry Pearson (the editor) used to talk about The Rule of Thirds; i.e. place your speakers a third of the total (width) distance in from the side walls. Ideally you would use this rule both width and length wise in a room - although that wouldn't be feasible in most rooms.
