Ok, so I've finally gotten my other CBM-170 AND I've finally gotten space to set them up. What I have set up now is only going to be here for about a week, but I can't wait that long :P
I have a rather large, 21" Trinitron Monitor. The right speaker is about three inches from a wall and two inches from the monitor, pitched in somewhat. Both speakers are at near-eye level. The left speaker isn't near any wall and is roughly the same distance from the monitor...
The problem? I don't hit the sweet spot unless I shove my face really close to the monitor - causing the tweeters to be practically radiating right to my ears...when I do that, voices sound properly centered and the sound opens up to be extremely lifelike. When I sit back, it's ok...definately better than what I've been forced to listen to this past year or so, but it really doesn't sound as good unless I do something dorky like cup my ears with my hands...
Oh, and both speakers are just about under 2 feet away from my face. I'm sure that has something to do with it...
Any advice?
