    Curved speaker placement.

    I have read that it is ideal to set up the front speakers in a slight curve to keep the distance to the seating area equal.What do you do when the seating area is curved ? I use the room mainly for movie watching. Thank you.

    Because the time delay is adjustable on just about all of them. All it takes is a tape measure and you can set the speaker delay for your exact position. Some of the more expensive receivers even have a mic that uses a test tone to set the exact delay, and some can also set bass equalization too.

    Please refer to your manual. Setting the speaker distance is oen of the most important things to do when you set up your system.
