Speaker positioning

[selby]

I'm sure the other day I saw a post where the Doc had mentioned a technique he learnt for positioning speakers (something to do with leaning over them and listening for the bass to lift)?

I've got bookshelf speakers and unfortunately for a long time will do as I don't have the space (sorry I mean wife) that will allow anything else...so whatever speakers I have will end up being on a unit that we have...any thoughts on positioning, isolation and don't recommend I lose the wife...

Not sure if the speakers would benefit from being position on rubber mats, blocks of wood/marble, heavy weights on the top of the speakers etc etc

Try it and tell me what you think.

Mine are placed with Audio Physic method, resulted in ~110cm in front of the back wall, and this gives better results than placing them close to wall as the Revolution Range's speakers placement guide say. Also, mine are standing on spikes -> granite 5cm pad -> laminate flooring (which is also a bit isolated by kind of sponge-thing you put under it).
