Set-up and installation
Contents
We place these large floorstanders a little farther apart than usual because they can take it. They will be placed just under three feet from each other and are slightly turned in. When you pay a little attention to the setup you notice how well they “disappear”. The sound really comes off the speakers and that’s pretty punishing. The Polk Audio Reserve R700 stands a 60 cm from the front wall and 30 cm from the side walls The Polk Audio Reserve R700 replaces a set of Acoustic Energy AE509 in the Reference System below:
