For optimum results, these speakers should be placed on rigid stands or wall brackets close
to the rear wall and at least 60cm from any side wall. As an alternative, these speakers may
be placed on a shelf or bookshelf, but the shelf must be of solid construction. The Muso
speakers should never be placed on the floor; or in corners.
The Muso speakers will give best results with the tweeters (the smaller of the two speaker
cones) at, or just below, ear height when the listener is seated.
The final sound will, of course, depend on the acoustics of the listening room, and
experimentation with speaker positioning and furnishings is definitely worthwhile. As a
starting point, we suggest that the speakers should be placed 2-3 metres apart with their
back 10-30 cm away from the wall. The bass output may then be increased or decreased
by moving the speakers closer to or away from the wall. Turning-in the speakers, so that
their axes cross just in front of the listener, may also improve the treble balance and stereo
imagery in some situations.
