Final setting for my front speakers.How much should i place them forward from tv?

[dazkyl]

I read the last day that you should place the front speakers a few inches forward from tv. But how much ? And why is this ? I already read that the front speakers and the center speaker should form an arc , not a straight line.

They are 2 meters apart from each other (F/L , F/R) and i sit 2.5 meters away from them.

This is how i placed them. Should i move them a little bit more forward ? I did this also to leave a few inches of space because of rear ported for best bass performance.

This is so they are the same distance from the listening position. What receiver do you have? Most modern AVRs will time adjust all speakers so that they respond as if they were the same distance from your listening position.

I already set the timing from the avr.Do they effect sound or dynamic by moving them forward?

Speaker placement is another issue. It depends on what type of speakers you have, your room. Some speakers are ported in front some in the rear. Have a look at BD's sticky on the subject.

Your center channel is up too high. To have the best possible front stage with whatever speakers you are using, the front three tweeters should line up going across. They shouldn't be more than 12 inch higher or lower than the others.

That looks like a hard surface floor. If so, it would help to put a carpet half way to your seating position to prevent reflections.

Then where can i place my center speaker? Its very difficult because it looks ugly if i place it on the tv cabinet as well.

Most rooms need at least some treatments. Absorbers at the early reflection areas such as the side walls, bare floors & ceilings. Most people do the walls & floors but not the ceiling. It's an easy thing to test. Put down a rug and test it.
