How far apart should nearfield monitors be?
Common question: “How close should I position my “near field” monitors?” Our general rule of thumb: If they are smaller speakers, put them out about arm’s length away from you, with about that same distance between them (about one meter).
How far apart should your monitor speakers be?
The rule of thumb is that the speakers should be as far apart as their distance from the listening position. That is, if you’re 4 feet away from the monitors, then start by moving them 4 feet apart so that you make an equilateral triangle between you and the two monitors (see the graphic on the left).
Should speakers be isolated from stands?
If you already have a speaker stand with spikes and your floor is made of wood, then you should consider putting some form of isolation platform between the speaker and the stand, to prevent the cabinet vibrations reaching the stand and, through it, the floor. Avoid flimsy stands that move or rock when you touch them.
Do you need speaker spikes on concrete floor?
